Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. This Is A 1970's Translation of a 1930's French language work about Peace River homesteaders. described by E.K. Brown of the Winnipeg Free Press as "the finest novel of the Canadian West . . . a literary work in which the materials of the frontier have been wrought into designs of lasting beauty. ." The translator, who has signed on the title page, describes a great deal of care and consultation on his part in order to do justice to the work. This is a slightly yellowed and at this point unread copy with some edge wear. I say 'unread at this point" because, although this seems to be a pretty obscure piece of Canadiana, the reviewer's superlatives and translator's remarks are too tempting for me to resist.
