THE STRANGE ONE
Maroon cloth backed decorative boards, silver spine titles; in a dust jacket featuring wraparound art.
Gift inscription to the front endpaper, else near fine; in a price-clipped dust jacket with mild wear to the spine ends and corner tips.
The story of a wayward Barnacle Goose and its relationship with a Canadian goose, interwoven with the tale of forbidden love of a Scottish-Canadian biologist and a Cree girl.
The second book by the Canadian author and amateur naturalist who first garnered national prominence with LAST OF THE CURLEWS, the classic story about a bird about to become extinct.
"The major part of my work has been novels linking human and animal characters in a fiction format with strong natural history content and wilderness backgrounds."
A Canadian nature classic in the scarce original edition.
