Nominated for the Roderick Haig Brown Book Prize in 2009, this book relates the early 20th century history of this coast through a lively exploration of the letters and diaries of people who lived there.

This is Margaret Horsfield’s second book about this area. Previously, in the award-winning Cougar Annie’s Garden, she told the story of a remote bush garden in the northern reaches of Clayoquot Sound.

384 pages, hardcover, fully indexed, contains maps, illustrations and over 100 previously unpublished photographs.
