Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Marion E. Barker; (illustratore). First Edition. 56 pp. Light wear. Cover art by Marion E. Barker. Started in 1920, this magazine was founded by the Hudson's Bay Company as part of their 250th anniversary celebrations. HBC was chartered on the 2nd of May in the year 1670. Their main business was furs, primarily beaver pelts, hence the name of the magazine, The Beaver. In 1994, the magazine was acquired by Canada's National History Society. In 2010, the History Society changed the name from The Beaver to Canada's History because, apparently, an assortment of half-wits thought the original title of the magazine was disgustingly sexist. This issue contains: Colours of the Farm by Donald Lamont, illustrated by Marion E. Barker; Fuel for the Home Fires by Desmond Morton and Cheryl Smith; Louis Slotin and the Invisible Killer by Martin Zeilig; Tyrant of the Ottawa Valley - planting the Clan McNab in colonial Canada by Bernard Shaw; North with the Red River Brigade by William Cornwallis King; A Surgeon on the Bay by W. B. Ewart; and Tourists of Old Montreal by Clarence Epstein; along with an assortment of features. Size: 4to. Book.

Hardcover. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Editor Shaw's wit and wise choices, ranging from Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, Vanessa Bell, Willa Cather to Denise Levertov, Doris Lessing, Mina Loy and Maya Angelou substantiates her thesis that is articulated by Virginia Woolf in A Room Of One's Own, "As for her coming without that preparation, without that effort on our part, without that determination that when she is born again she shall find it possible to live and write her poetry, that we cannot expect, for that would be impossible. But I maintain that she would come if we worked for her, and that so to work, even in poverty and obscurity, is worth while." 8vo. 256 pp. Fine in fine dustwrapper.
