Chronicles of the Glen

Growing up in the middle of the last century, where the Parkland meets the Great Plains in Western Canada, did present its challenges but also furnished its rewards. The simplicity of life, the activities undertaken out of necessity, the sense of human strength against nature are all recorded in this series of short stories about a young boy raised in this era prior to him reaching school age. For the young amongst us it gives one a chance to understand how things were without any “screens”, indoor plumbing or running water and what activities filled our lives. For others it will bring back very familiar memories of your own by-gone days.
