Toronto: Key Porter Books, 1988. In 'Down Home' Harry Bruce describes the land, sea, and the people with humour, insight, and provocative candour. His portraits of the principal cities of the region - Halifax, Saint John and Fredericton - reveal a vibrant and sophisticated urban way of life. His lyrical account of his unrequited love affair with a Drascombe lugger will strike a responsive chord in anyone who has found joy in small boats. Other chapters give new and surprising insight into the lives of Maritime people, from the very rich ( the Irvings, Jodreys and Sobeys among them) to plain folks in this old civilized corner of Canada. This book is full of insight and witty observation. Chapter head illustrations by Renee Mansfield. Neat gift sticker to ffep. A clean, bright copy in a photo illustrated price-intact dust jacket..
