TRAILL, CATHERINE PARR. INTRODUCTION BY CLARA THOMAS. (CATHARINE)

The Canadian Settler's Guide. New Canadian Library No. 64.

McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1969 reprint.. 251 pp, mass market paperback (7" H). "Many a mid-nineteenth century 'female settler' must have had cause to feel gratitude to this comprehensive and lively 'Guide', and the remarkable lady who wrote it. The book abounds with useful information fr om bread and pickle-making to what to do if your cabin catches fire, and how best to combat loneliness in the Ontario bush. It discusses manners, morality, what the sensible pioneer should wear, and how to raise chickens. It tells you how to r a i s e flowers and vegetables, how to cope with illness with no doctor in reach, and abounds with practical suggestions for entertaining and interior decorating, even while in the wilderness. It is not surprising that (it) has become a genuine cl as si c of Canadiana. Written in a clear, lucid prose, its author's versatility, imagination, and common sense still shine from every page. Catherine Parr Traill was a young bride when she exchanged the comforts of upper-class English society for th e r ig our s of pioneer existence. And she took the taming of the Canadian bush into her stride as gracefully as she had once entertained the vicar at tea." Interior - previous owner's name on first page, moderate browning to pages, otherwise clea n an d t ight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - light browning - moderate on edges of text block, light creases on spine, one small corner crease. Very Good-.
