Glengarry School Days: A Story Of Early Days In Glengarry

The fifteen sketches that make up GLENGARRY SCHOOL DAYS look back affectionately on childhood in pioneering Ontario at the time of Confederation. Yet behind Ralph Connor's delightful account of boyhood enthusiasms - and his clear desire for a more orderly and courageous world than the one he found himself inhabiting-lie glimpses of the moral rigidity that also characterized homesteading life in early Canada. Wildly popular when it was fist published in 1902, GLENGARRY SCHOOL DAYS still captivates readers with its detailed portrait of children and their adventures and misadventures.
