Roughing It In The Bush - Moodie, Susanna

Penguin Black Classics Edition; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; First published in 1852, helped to destroy British illusions about life in Upper Canada. Susanna Moodie described a lie of backbreaking labour, poverty, and hardship on a pioneer farm in the colonial wilderness. Her sharp observations, satirical character sketches, and moments of despair and terror were a startling contrast to the widely circulated optimistic accounts of life in British North America, written to entice readers across the Atlantic.
