"In this immensely popular Canadian classic, Robert Collins describes his boyhood growing up in Saskatchewan during the bleak years of the Depression. Featuring the fine realist paintings of well-known painter Len Gibbs, this special illustrated edition evokes the mood of that era both through Collins's humorous and touching stories and through Gibbs's detailed acrylic paintings. Despite the hardships of the Depression, RObert Collins and his family shared many happy times on their prairie farm.

Throughout, Len Gibbs's magnificent paintings reflect a profound understanding of the prairies born from the artist's own boyhood there in the 1930s." - from the inner front jacket flap.
