Description: USA: Wild Rose Publishing, 1980. Reprint. Paperback. 59 pages. "This is the autobiography of the poet-artist from the unremembered to the closing years of her life. She was born of pioneering families who came to Vancouver Island near the middle of the nineteenth century, when the forests, lakes, rivers and the sea coasts were untouched by industry. Influenced by her mother's French artistic people from the Baie des Chaleurs, and her father's philosophical family from Ontario which embraced vegetarian and natural living, she inherited a strange pathway in life. This is a work of words and paintings. It is a journey. A journey through realization of life. This struggle of an artist will do much more than draw your admiration of I. Arleigh Martell. It will make you cherish life itself!" - Preface. Illustrated in colour. Light wear. Unmarked but for 3"x1" beige moisture stain and spot of peeling at top edge of front cover. Tight and square.
