In July, 1814, a suave young man who gave his name as Henry More Smith was charged with stealing a horse and was lodged in Kingston Jail in care of Sheriff Walter Bates. Smith escaped for two months, but was returned to custody and secured by chains and a metal collar, which he broke. Sentenced to death, he constructed a puppet show from straw and strips of clothing. Pardoned, he was shipped to Windsor, Nova Scotia, his former home. 164 pp. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
