"Robert Collins tells his story with such exuberant affection that he makes those of us who didn't share his experience feel as though we were somehow deprived and underprivileged." - Globe and Mail. "In this immensely popular Canadian classic, Robert Collins describes his boyhood growing up in Saskatchewan during the bleak years of the Depression. Featuring the fine realist paintings of well-known painter Len Gibbs, this special illustrated edition evokes the mood of that era both through Collins's humorous and touching stories and through Gibbs's detailed acrylic paintings. Despite the hardships of the Depression, RObert Collins and his family shared many happy times on their prairie farm. Whether pusing an old car tire - as a stand-in for an Eaton's Glider two-wheeler or a Packard Super 8 - all over the farm, wielding a Wild West pistol made from a carved cedar shingle or playing hockey on a mirror-perfect frozen pond, young Collins enjoyed a rich and imaginative boyhood in the midst of grinding poverty. Throughout, Len Gibbs's magnificent paintings reflect a profound understanding of the prairies born from the artist's own boyhood there in the 1930s." - from the inner front jacket flap.
