Description:
Boston: Houghton,Mifflin Company, 1976. Nigel Ash is a traveler alone, a fighter pilot, a bush pilot after that, a man who has always flown a little too close to the wind, a ruthless man with a temper to kill. But after illness he recuperates in a log cabin lent to him by his brother and sister-in-law, Lorna, and another side of Ash appears..... As the currents of his temperment ebb and flow, Ash at last finds some purpose and meaning in his "botched-up" life. As in so many of David Walker's novels, the landscape, the birds and the animals are exquisitely depicted. This is a most gripping and exciting story, but more than that it is a superb study of a man of our troubled times: one who arouses feelings of liking and suspicion, of admiration and censure. Black cloth boards, lime color title print to front board and spine. No ownership markings. illustrated pictorial still-bright dust jacket by Ned Glattauer. Price intact. A nice clean copy.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.

Description:
Toronto: MacMillan of Canada, 1970. Winnipeg during the era of the first World War: To James Gray there could be no better time and no better place to grow up. All around there were the best of the new and the old - automobiles, airplanes, radio, moving pictures, horses by the hundred, delivery wagons, sleighs, and open streetcars. Crowded with people from Ontario and the Maritimes, the United States and the four corners of Europe, Winnipeg was bursting at the seams.. James Gray writes of these things but most of all he writes of the delights of childhood. He has not only written a warm, joyful and sometimes poigant account of an age that has passed; he has also made a valuble contribution to Canadian social history. Black cloth boards with white title print to spine. No owner marking or inscription. Price-clipped illustrated jacket shows some edgewear and scuffing on rear panel but is still bright.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Illus. by Myra Lowenthal.
