This Land: A Cross Country Anthology of Canadian Fiction for Young Readers

0/5 ( ratings)

In This Land, Governor General's Award-winning children's author Kit Pearson has collected stories that not only entertain readers both young and old, but also offer remarkable impressions of the vast and varied land in which we live. From Julie Lawson's vivid depiction of Vancouver's nineteenth-century Chinatown to Kevin Major's colourful rendition of contemporary Newfoundland, Kit Pearson leads us from coast to coast and from the past to present to explore this land and our relationship to it. L.M. Montgomery's much-loved Emily of New Moon takes us into the heart of rural P.E.I., while Shirley Sterling's My Name is Seepeetza brings us to a residential school of the 1950s. Margaret Buffie's Who is Frances Rain?, Jan Truss's Jasmin and Tim Wynne-Jone's Gloria move us into the Canadian wilderness, while Moon Prayer by Roch Carrier and The Dream Carvers by Joan Clark introduces us to two very different sorts of Canadian villages. Michael Kusugak's Baseball Bats for Christmas and James Houston's Tikta'liktak present two visions of the Far North, while Celia Lottridge's Ticket to Curlew gives us a prominent picture of life on the prairies. Also including selections from beloved children's authors Charles G.D. Roberts, Janet Lunn, Mary Alice Downie, Budge Wilson and others, and featuring an introduction by Kit Pearson, This Land is a treasury of first-rate children's stories and a moving testament to the importance of place in our writing.
