High Bright Buggy Wheels

by Cynthia Flood e Luella Creighton (Deceased)

OUT OF STOCK OR NOT AVAILABLE

 Luella Creighton's 1951 novel is one of the first published in Ontario to describe life inside the Mennonite community. She is a highly talented writer; her characters, although from an isolated and insular world, are extremely compelling, and the details of their now-unfamiliar daily life are fascinating. While Mennonites shun the aesthetic side of life, what the novel accurately shows is the feel of community belonging and spiritual bonding that holds memberstogether. The novel recounts an inquisitive young woman leaving the community to spend time in a nearby city, learning music and dressmaking. In the events that unfold, her intellectual and spiritual horizons expand, and she enters into a forbidden liaison. Ultimately, there is tragedy and eventuallydifficult reconciliation. In its detailing of the little-known daily life of Ontario Mennonites, Creighton's novel is in a tradition of writers as diverse as Barbara Smucker and Miriam Toews.

The result is an anthology that spans the capture of Quebec to the early twentiethcentury, containing little-known meditations and the early historical verse of Canada's Confederation Poets.

The Elegant Canadians

by Don Wright e Luella Creighton

OUT OF STOCK OR NOT AVAILABLE

 Canada was coming into its own in the 1860s, according to writer Luella Creighton. First published a hundred years after Confederation, Creighton's book celebrates the thriving culture of Canada during its nascent years. No longer a land of pioneers and hardship, the New World was a place where travel, communication, and trade flourished, rivalling the cities of the Old World. Much of the book, a lively mix of fact and fiction, consists of narratives from foreigntravellers, many of whose expectations of burdened lives and economic privation change as they witness the elegance, hierarchy, and wealth that Canada had to offer.
