A Treasury of New Brunswick Art and Stories |
"Clark has performed a service to the province in making
this book available." Following the success of his first two books, Peter D. Clark has written what is sure to become another collector's item. Here is a unique collection of local folklore intermixed with true historical accounts: Babe Ruth Comes to Fredericton, the story of Willie O'Ree, the first African-American to play in the NHL, stories from the Maritime lumber camps, Camp Magaguadavic, the Boyce Farmers' Market, Remembrance Day with Jack Fenety, Fanny Bubar's one room school house... Once again the author has compiled or written humorous stories, mystery and reminiscences that had to be told, but this time presented them in a limited edition art odyssey in collaboration with many professional artists, including internationally recognized Bruno Bobak and Mary Pratt, as well as leading New Brunswick artists such as Lars Larsen, Cheryl Bogart and Lloyd Fitzgerald, nineteen in all. |
