160 pages including bibliography and Beothuck Vocabulary. The Beothuks. Genocide. The words go together in history - Canadian history. Few Canadians know that this country's early settlers and explorers exterminated a race of Indians; sold them into slavery; hunted, terrorized and slaughtered them, often for sheer sport. The story of the Beothucks will never be fully known, but a fascinating and moving history of a lost race emerges from the words and drawings left by Shananditti, the only survivor of her Newfoundland nation, and confirmed by archeological research. This is a biography both harsh and tragic, but it also speaks of courage, endurance and love. Moderate to average wear. Unmarked. Book

A PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR WITH HIS SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. John Paddy Carstairs (1910-1970), director and author, was a stalwart of the British film industry for over thirty years. Starting his career as assistant cameraman, he quickly progressed to writing screenplays (beginning with 'Honeymoon Adventure' in 1931) and directed his first feature in 1934. He is best known for 'The Chiltern Hundreds' (1949), the first (and hugely successful) Norman Wisdom comedy 'Trouble in Store' (1953) and numerous subsequent vehicles for Frankie Howerd, Tommy Steele, Charlie Drake and Bob Monkhouse. As a writer he produced a string of humorous and semi-autobiographical novels, of which the present work is regarded as among the finest. This copy was inscribed by Carstairs at Pinewood Studios during the making of 'The Big Money' (1956) produced by Joseph Janni and starring Ian Carmichael and Kathleen Harrison.

103 pages. Former owner's information upon half-title page. English Canada's reply to the so-called 'French Fact." Imagine the English Canadians finally having their say about Quebec! There's a chuckle on every page - more than one on many occasions - to help make some of the uglier facts more palatable. A perffect blend of humour and history, of laughter and of shock. Perhaps the first real attempt by English Canadians to say a strong 'phooey' to all the French unrest in Quebec. Accomplished with sophistication and wit... agree with it or not... you'll be entertained greatly and probably slightly educated at the same time. Book
