His best known book of humorous sketches is Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912). Leacock’s humorous style was reminiscent of Mark Twain and Charles Dickens at their sunniest. However, his Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (1914) is a darker collection that satirises city life. In 1947, the Stephen Leacock Award was created to recognize the best in Canadian literary humour.
