Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1964. 160 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H). "Life in a Quebec manor-house at the turn of the (20th) century is colourfully described in this biography of his childhood by Robert de Roquebrune. Skilfully woven into the texture of reminiscences about his own growing up are absorbing accounts of the early history of Canada. From his ancestors, whose careers and personalities live vividly through accounts preseved by the family, there is a strong feeling of the continuity of life and traditions from the France of Louis XIII to what was to become the province of Quebec."
