Description
In Backwoods Boy, author Richard Irving takes you on a lighthearted romp through the maple trees and blueberry fields of his childhood in Canada in the fifties and sixties. Emerging from World War II, the community of Baltimore, New Brunswick, was isolated by poor roads and expensive telecommunications. Nevertheless, this isolation fostered a deep sense of community and a solid sense of place in the people who raised families, helped their neighbours, and build their lives with little fanfare or recognition. Thirty-four whimsical pencil-and-ink sketches and thirteen photographs company nostalgic stories that illustrate the joys and challenges of each season and demonstrate the social effects of technology's progression.
