What Members Thought
This was a pleasant and quick read. Drawing on his childhood memories the author has written of small community life in the Ontario of the 1860s. The school and young Hughie Murray are the main focus of these stories. From tales of spelling bees, games of shinny, afternoons at the swimming hole, to an encounter with a bear, pioneer days, childhood, and a strong sense of belonging are brought to life.
