What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

An early UK edition of this work, published in the same year as the first edition.

A charming study of the Canadian province of Manitoba, told by a Victorian era Englishwoman who visited the region via the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late nineteenth century.

Fitzgibbon's discusses that the region has 'one of the most healthy climates in the world - the death-rate being lower than in any other part of the globe, - and a soil of wondrous fertility'.

Armorial bookplate of Sir Alfred Sherlock Gooch to the front pastedown.
