254 pages including glossary. Based upon interviews with Arne Johnson, Hjalmar Bergren, John McCuish, George Grafton, Edna Brown, and others who helped organize a woodworker's union in British Columbia. This work was begun in 1957 with the intent of recording a history of the woodworker's union in the Lake Cowichan area, of which so many oft-repeated tales have been heard. Intended to embrace only the camps and mills in the area, it grew to be a larger story, until the author was faced with a mountain of data on paper ad tape, and the necessity to draw a line. For this reason, the story is based on the Cowichan region, appropriately enough, since it was one of the vital areas in the establishment of the woodworker's union.

Very Good Very Good English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [Lvii], 236 p. Two Tamil folktales: The story of King Matanakâma - The story of peacock Râvana. Translated from the Tamil by Kamil V. Zvelebil. "Taamil literary folklore has so far received little attention, in spite of a few early publications which appeared mostly in the 19th century. Mosst of Tamil literary texts translated into Western languages, or analyzed in Indological literature, belonged too the Tamil 'Great Tradition' of high literary culture. And yet, there exists an enormous wealth of oral and semi-oral traditions of verbal art in Tamil, as in any other Indian language; some of these pieces of literary folklore have appeared in print as chapbooks and are very popular with Tamil readers, but ignored by 'respactable' literary scholarship. The two folk-narratives translated in this book belong to the favourite pieces of Tamil folklore. Apart from being expressions of sheer narrative joy and creative fantasy of the Tamil people,they are a rich source of comparative data on various motifs, customs, stylistic devices etc., and therefore they will not only amuse and delight the general reader, but be of great use to all students of Indian literatures, and of comparative folklore.".
