Yellow-Wolf & Other Tales of the Saint Lawrence - de Gaspé, Phillipe-Joseph Aubert; Brierley, Jane

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light price sticker ghost on back cover; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Three of the stories in this book concern American Indians, the remnants of proud and noble lines who lived along the Saint Lawrence River. One of the most valuable and entertaining aspects of de Gaspe's writing in his creative eye and ear, and his talent for describing events and encounters in a way that makes them live for us once more. These fireside tales were originally published posthumously in 1893. Jane Brierley's introduction and annotations provide fascinating insights into the life and times of one of the fathers of Canadian literature.
