Description

The name of author, musician, and rebel Emily Carr's first guide indicates "Laughing One," the nickname given her from the Indigenous folks of Canada's west-coast. She returned the favor with Klee Wyck, an accumulation of 21 "term pictures" of the methods and lifestyles. The memoir explains in amusing, vibrant depth Carr's appointments and moves as she surely got to understand a people and colored their totem poles and towns whose "calm power recovered my heart." The guide is reissued here with renewed text and attributes the initial introduction by Ira Dilworth and a brand new introduction by Carr student Kathryn Link.
