Part Eleven of Eighteen Volumes. Gilbert, Canadian-born novelist and politician, his literary reputation lies primarily on his earlier descriptive, dramatic and historic Canadian stories. He moved to England in 1889 and later served in Parliament. Parker explains that in this edition of his work, each volume will have a special introduction setting forth, as far as possible, the relation of each work to the author, to its companion works, and to the scheme of his literary life. The Lane That Had No Turning and other associated tales concerning the people of Pontiac; together with certain parables of a province are written in keeping with the happily simple and uncomplicated life of French Canada as the author knew it then. The stories in this volume, such as The Tragic Comedy of Annette are written with simple realism, while at the end of the volume are nine fantasies or stories, titled The Parables of the Provinces. While Parker believes these fantasies also possess the spirit of French Canada, they are more or less mystical in nature.

Autorenporträt
Gilbert Parker was the pen name of Canadian author George Parker, 1st Baronet PC (23 November 1862 6 September 1932). He was born in Camden East, Addington, Ontario, and was the son of Captain Joseph Parker, R.A. In 1882, he became a teacher at the Ontario Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in Belleville, Ontario. Before that, he taught at the Marsh Hill and Bayside schools in Hastings County. His next stop was to teach at Trinity College. His trip to Australia in 1886 led him to work as a deputy editor for the Sydney Morning Herald for a while. He also did a lot of traveling in the Pacific, Europe, Asia, Egypt, the South Sea Islands, and later northern Canada. By the early 1990s, he was becoming better known in London as a romance fiction writer. The best of his books are the ones that were the first to focus on the past and daily lives of French Canadians. His lasting literary fame is built on the vivid and dramatic quality of his Canadian stories.
