Set in beautiful rural Kettle Valley, this book consists of 25 short stories, (136 pages) of the life of a young male growing up in the southern interior of British Columbia in the 1940s. The book starts with the story "Wonders of Winter" which was a first prize winner on the CBC Radia "Afternoon Show". The stories follow the cycle of all four seasons ending with a description of Christmas. The author and his 3 younger brothers and a sister are being raised on a cattle ranch/mixed farmning operation, prior to the use of tractors. All the farming was done using horses. There were no paved roads, the one room school was three miles away and the primary means of transprotation out of the area was by the Kettle Valley Railway. Interspersed with stories associated with work and play, school and chores is a story associated the emigration of Japanese people forced to move from Coastal BC. Additional stories trace the lives of wildlife such as owls, cougars and beavers. The book is of sufficient interest to Kathryn Gretsinger, host of the CBC's "Afternoon Show" that she has provided an introduction. This is a book which will provide useful historical information for today's 9 to 14 age group, a reminder of life in the 1940s for those over 60 and entertainment for the ages in between.
