Newton MacTavish's Canada: Selected Essays of Newton Mactavish - MacTavish, Newton; Stafford, Ellen

Clean, tight, unmarked; wear with chips and tears to upper edge of dust jacket; bright yellow dust jacket; $5.95 price; dark green cloth covers with gilt titles to spine; Mr. MacTavish contrives an original combination of wit and humour... turning the light of truth upon human psychology by way of situation and of character, coloured and illuminated by anecdotal humour. The celebrated cartoonist of The New Yorker Magazine wrote that to illustrate this book by his late father-in-law would be a labour of love. This happy collaboration of artist and writer has skilfully and memorably re-constructed a small Ontario community in the late nineties, bringing to life a gallery of perceptively observed characters whose fads and foibles, human and humorous, are both warmly touching and irresistibly funny.
