I read this book back in about 1949 when I was about age 12 yr., and wrote a book report on it then. The teacher was surprised that I had done this book because it was old then. I have no idea what happened to the book but remembered it because I liked it. The thing that me interested in it again was the fact that Nellie McClung was born near my home and there is a cairn to mark the spot. My husband was reading another of her books recently, and it peaked our interest. I discovered on Biblio.com that the original version was still available - the one with the photo on the cover, just like the one that I used to own. So I bought it for sentimental reasons. I just received it so haven't had time to read it. I look forward to reading it again.
