A great book for children by the author of the perennial bestseller,
The Curve of Time. A charming story for children aged 6 to 8, in which a slightly mixed-up young killer whale loses his mother but finds a friend — a pink-toed seagull named Timothy, who is full of good advice but doesn’t manage to keep Henry out of trouble as they explore the BC coast together.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
M. Wylie Blanchet (1891-1961) was born in Montreal and spent her childhood as an avid seeker of the natural world. Her adventurous and independent spirit led to extraordinary summers with her children exploring the coastal wilderness of British Columbia, and her recollections of the landscape have earned her memoir, The Curve of Time, a place in Canadian literature as an enthralling West Coast must-read. Her children’s book, A Whale Named Henry, was originally published posthumously by Harbour Publishing in 1983. Blanchet passed away at her home near Sidney, BC, at the age of seventy.
