Sinossi
George Salverson had written over a thousand radio plays for the CBC before he became the first television drama editor for the corporation. He wrote scripts for such beloved series as The Beachcombers and The Littlest Hobo, but he kept very little of his writing, being decidedly unsentimental about his work. So when his daughter Julie found a series of notebooks from a round-the-world trip he’d taken in 1963 to work on a documentary about world hunger, she knew she’d found something important. But the writer of these notebooks is not the father she thought she knew. From there Julie Salverson traces a fascinating web of personal and political history, of storytelling, of culture and it’s shaping and of a man caught in a time of great change.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. When Ida is sent away for the summer to stay with the Murphys -- friends of her father, but also of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald -- she travels from New York to France and, unknowingly, into the artistic epicenter of 1929. There, she meets their haughty, sullen, and precocious daughter, Honoria, and wonders if she can be friends with the prettiest girl in the whole world. In the perfect inverted world of adults, one of constant play and leisure -- and inebriation, of course -- it's the children who most acutely perceive the pervasive unhappiness bubbling beneath the surface gaiety. Achingly sad and effortlessly funny, full of the kind of youthful sincerity unclouded by pretenses of age, short story writer and cartoonist Janice Shapiro's debut graphic novel, Honoria, is the complex story of the education of two young girls who have started moving slowly into womanhood.
