When Canada's largest publisher, McClelland & Stewart, asked Peter Mellen to write a book on The Group of Seven, artists who went off to paint the pristine wilderness in the early twentieth century, he had no idea what was in store for him. The book became a Canadian best seller and one of the most successful art books ever published in Canada, selling over 40,000 copies. It is a story filled with all kinds of adventures-one of the artists (a dark and handsome loner) mysteriously dies in a canoe accident; another outfits a boxcar so they can go far into the Northland to paint the fall colors; others have their paintings criticized as too modern by an angry public.
