2.Twenty Chickens For A Saddle -Twenty Chickens For A Saddle -
from Penguin Publishing -
Price: $29.99

Customer Review:
None of us will ever see all of the world. Books take us to some places we'll never get to. Robyn Scott has done that in a small way for me. Her talent brings us into her family and lets us watch it develop.
Much of what we learn comes by just following our interests. Her mother encouraged that... more info

from Key Porter Books
Price: $34.95

Customer Review:
Irene Gammel is rather over-dramatic here, and every little ad in the popular women's magazines of Montgomery's days is scrutinized and classified as the key to the eternal mystery of Anne of Green Gables. After a few hundred pages of this, I threw up my hands, moaning, "WHAT mystery?" I do... more info

I have really LOVED this book since I was 13 years old and a friend gave it to me for my birthday: God bless her!

from Broadview Press
Price: $4.00

Customer Review:
Leacock wrote in the introduction that Mariposa represented seventy or eighty different towns throughout Canada. The residents were composite characters of people he knew.

Some time ago I reread Northrop Frye's Fearful Symmetry before having another read through of the poems of William Blake including the longer poems The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem.
