Paperback. Condizione: new. Brown, Kate (illustratore). Paperback. Comox Estuary Featured in "The Interlopers" Children's Book by Local Writer/Illustrator Author Marlet Ashley and illustrator Kate Brown are two local newcomers to the valley who were so awed by the Comox Estuary and its waterfowl that they got together to write a series of five children's books collectively titled Revelry On The Estuary. The first story in the collection is titled "The Interlopers" and it is written from the point of view of the avian residents of the estuary. Kate and Marlet drew from Kate's observation of the ducks, swans, herons, and other birds on the water just outside her door in Courtenay. She recorded the various waterfowl on hand-painted mugs, souvenirs she gave away to guests. Kate related the antics of the birds to author Marlet Ashley, and from there, the stories took shape. "The Interlopers" introduces readers to characters such as Erwyn Eagle, Penelope Sandpiper, Gabby Gull, and Henri Heron, among others, who will be featured in stories to be released in the future. These characters engage in antics that touch on camaraderie and adventure and include a subtle philosophical perspective that nature, especially in the Comox Estuary, is important and must be protected.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Secrets are fetters that shackle us to the past. Marcella Masters has spent her life trying to keep everyone she meets from discovering her past. When she and her husband, Theodore Masters, the artist, move from Vancouver to the small town of Cumberland on Vancouver Island, she meets an assortment of town characters who revel in their eccentricities. After her difficult husband dies, Marcella is left as curator of a fine-art gallery in a town that is best known for loggers, bikers, and free spirits. The characters in the town are unconventional, yet they try, in their own strange but compassionate ways, to help Marcella fit in. The only one who is having a problem with that is Marcella herself. Shy and fearful of exposure, Marcella clings to her husband even after his death and even though at best he is unkind and has secrets of his own. She feels at once inadequate for the task of being a gallery curator yet just a bit superior to the rather common folk of the town, but that sense of superiority is short lived as she discovers the wisdom of her neighbours. Marcella's ties to her dead but surprisingly present husband keep her self-conscious and under his control, a position in which she is too comfortable. Two questions demand answers in this work: What must one do in order to fit in, and when does one know when they've been accepted? The answer is the same for both questions-when everything is laid bare and all pretentiousness gone. To arrive at this place is harder than Marcella ever imagined.Marcella's story is funny, poignant, frightening, and satisfying for any reader who has ever had the misfortune of feeling inadequate.
