Winter in the New Brunswick backwoods, a settler's cabin, and stories told against the cold. Mrs. Beavan gathers sketches and tales of frontier life: the early settlers, a refugee's story, children lost in the forest. A rare firsthand glimpse of pioneer Canada from a woman who lived it. Pull your chair to the fire and listen.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
