Bonisteel, Roy There Was A Time
Toronto Doubleday Canada 1992 038525363X / 9780385253635 Paperback Very Good Signed by Author
Text is clean. Cover shows only minimal wear. Signed by author on half-title page. ; BOOK DESCRIPTION: For seven generations the Bonisteel family lived on a farm in Ontario's Bay of Quinte region. In 1971, Roy Bonisteel, best-selling author, columnist and host of CBC's "Man Alive, " decided to move his family from the city back to the countryside of his youth. As he did, the memories started to flow. With a warmth reminiscent of Russell Baker's Growing Up and the humour of James Herriot's rural escapades, Roy Bonisteel recalls a simpler time when the work was hard and the rewards were basic. Bonisteel's sparkling anecdotes often underscore values of thrift and conservation, homemade entertainment and community living that many people are today trying to rediscover. There was a time...can be seen as a meditation on "progress". The book takes the form of an almanac, a nostalgic journey through the twelve months of the year, and is drawn in part from a series of regular columns Bonisteel was commissioned to write for the Kingston Whig-Standard. Through it all shines a warmth for the past but no illusions about its limitations. It is a luminous, yearning book--a reverberant echo of a life-style that has nearly disappeared. ; 272 pages; Signed by Author
