 Some Reader Comments
“The author has captured the feel and vocabulary of letters of the period to recount the social history of British Columbia’s colonial beginnings.”
“I feel I really got to know the characters and what it was lie to live in Victoria in the mid-1800s.”
“The device of a fictional/factual journal worked well. You gave your characters substance, using a light and humourous touch while … sneaking in so many wonderful factual details and photos …”
(from a teacher/librarian)
“The description of the trips away from the fort brought back very clearly the scenes and escapades of my childhood.”
