The Tell-Tale

Viac o knihe

Focusing on her experiences as an English-Canadian author and naturalist, Catharine Parr Traill vividly captured life in early Canada, particularly in Ontario. Starting with children's literature, she later documented her observations in letters and journals, culminating in "The Backwoods of Canada," a significant resource on the region's history. Her passion for botany led to the publication of "Canadian Wild Flowers" and "Studies of Plant Life in Canada," showcasing her detailed sketches of local flora. Traill's legacy endures through her contributions to Canadian literature and natural history.
