Them Days Publications. Slight cover wear, including large, light crease. Spine is tight; pgs are unmarked. The publication of Margaret Baikie's reminiscenes of Labrador life is a cause for celebration. Documents such as these capture the flavor of earlier times far better than the ablest present-day pen. And what times they were: women, unaided, fended off bears and wolves; Inuit grandmothers heaved rocks in running battles with Indians; and native women taught white men how to set animal traps. Margaret Baikie, writing in 1917 when she was 73 years old, has a finely-tuned sense of historical change as well as a flair for telling a good story. Whether describing the white moss and scattered junipers of her beloved Labrador, or boasting of the 200 partridges she shot in one season, or chronicling the annual pilgrimages to winter lodgings, Margaret Baikie tells her life story with an honesty and sensitivity that will delight both the general reader and historical scholar. A strong-willed and generous woman while she lived, she is an inspiration to those of us who at last have access to the writings of this truly remarkable Labrador woman.. Stapled Booklet. Very Good.

This biography of William Shakespeare "is an attempt to show (him) as his contemporaries saw him, rather than as the gigantic and legendary figure he has become since. He was once life size and this is an attempt at a life size portrait. "The book is not a literary biography. It does not concern that part of Shakespeare that was immortal and for all time. It concerns only the part of him that was mortal and belonged to the Elizabethan age. His plays are not discussed as literature, but only as they relate to the working problems of the London stage."
