Pearls and Pebbles

Pearls and Pebbles

Catharine Parr Traill

How fitting to close out the 20th century with a brand new edition of

Pearls & Pebbles

by the noted chronicler of pioneer life,

Catharine Parr Traill . Published in 1894,

Pearls & Pebbles

is an unusual book with a lasting charm, in which the author’s broad focus ranges from the Canadian natural environment to early settlement of Upper Canada. Through Traill’s eyes, we see the life of the pioneer woman, the disappearance of the forest, and the corresponding changes in the life of the Native Canadians who have inhabited that forest.

Editor

Elizabeth Thompson

reminds us of the significance of the writings by Traill, the aged author/naturalist, who felt that the hours spent gathering the pebbles and pearls from her notebooks and journals written in the backwoods of Canada was not time wasted.
