The curve of time / M. Wylie Blanchet ; foreword, Timothy Egan ; introduction, Gray Campbell ; new afterword, Eileen Blanchet.
Adventure story of a widowed woman and her five children who spent summers exploring the coastal waters of British columbia on a 25 foot boat.
The 50th anniversary edition of this coastal British Columbia classic, now in beautifully illustrated hardcover, will make a timeless keepsake. This is a biography and astonishing adventure story of a woman who, left a widow in 1927, packed her five children onto a 25-foot boat and cruised the coastal waters of British Columbia, summer after summer. Muriel Wylie Blanchet acted single-handedly as skipper, navigator, engineer and, of course, mother, as she saw her crew through encounters with tides, fog, storms, rapids, cougars and bears. She sharpened in her children a special interest in Haida culture and in nature itself. In this book, she left us with a sensitive and compelling account of their journeys.
