Volume 15 Number 2
1987 March


This is a gentle memoir, originally a film, using water-colour paintings and personal narration to describe one family's homesteading life near Winnipeg, a couple of generations ago. The pace is leisurely, deliberately so, to help savour the visual and imagine the total experience. School and town life are there, along with the social setting, but it is the farm and family life that is the focus. Recommended.
