The Book of Small is a collection of thirty-six word sketches in which Emily Carr relates anecdotes about her life as a young girl in the frontier town of Victoria. She notes: "There were a great many things that I only half understood, such as saloons and the Royal Family and the Chain Gang." The young Emily, who gave herself the nickname "Small, " was an intense, observant and sensitive yet rebellious child, who often got into scrapes because of her frankness or innocence. The vividly told stories reveal an awareness of the comedy-and pathos-of people and situations. They also offer an intimate look into childhood in a pioneer society in Victorian times. The Book of Small is a classic memoir of early childhood and a wonderful addition to your Emily Carr library.
