Emily Carr, the author of this book, was a well known Canadian painter and character. This book is a collection of stories from her travels in the Canadian rainforests visiting and living amongst the First Nation communities. The design references this with the treescape, colours, repetition of paint strokes; the ‘moon’ is reminiscent of First Nations button blankets .

First published in Toronto in 1941 by Oxford University Press. This version typeset in Doves Type by binder, as the text is now public domain.
