Three Generations on the Land Signed By Author

201 pages of profoundly fascinating and delightful illustrated history. Author's father (b. 1870) left Yorkshire, England with his young family for Canada in 1909 and arrived in Fife Lake, Saskatchewan where they spent their first winter in a straw house. Author was born in a sod house in 1910 and moved with his family to Montana when he was 6 years old. At age 14 the family moved to Victoria, B.C. and from there to Nanoose Bay, further up Vancouver Island. Most pages contain brief text, accompanied by the author's simple sketches of the way things were. He has stressed the most practical elements of daily life and survival. A priceless compilation of the challenges and genius of the pioneer. Examples include: how to hunt prairie antelope by wearing a white sheet; avoiding flying ants by erecting a pole to your wagon and hanging a coat at its top; uprooting stumps by tying them to nearby trees to be felled; cutting wood by rigging a buzzsaw to the back wheel of a Model "T" Ford truck; and many, many more. Mentions Vancouver Island landmarks such as the Arlington Hotel, Lantzville Hotel, Quarterway Hotel, and more. This book lends itself wonderfully to teaching youngsters the ways of the not-so-distant past. You will have great difficulty in putting it down. Book

Clarke, William; Cruikshank, George.MareMagnum

THREE COURSES AND A DESSERT. The Decoration by George Cruikshank. Second Edition.

pp. 432 + 8 [Publisher's Advertisements] + Eight plates; and over 40 charming woodcut text illustrations by Cruikshank. Foxed. 8vo. 215 mm. Original leather backed boards binding, worn. A collection of humorous and satirical short stories with West Country, Irish and legal settings (the 'Three Courses') together with a more miscellaneous selection (the 'Dessert'). The book makes wonderfully entertaining reading, and the illustrations are frequently quite delightful. Though the author is un-named, he was readily identifiable in early 19th century England. William Clarke (1800-1838), was also the author of `The Boys' Own Book' and other various works of light literature, which obtained a considerable measure of popularity. He also brought out a humorous periodical, called `The Cigar' and he was for some time editor of the `Monthly Magazine' For the last three or four years of his life he devoted himself to an elaborate work on natural history. This does not appear to have been published, nor are any of his other writings extant. While working in his garden, near his house near Hampstead, he died of an apoplectic fit. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
