Two recent titles of interest to Montrealers:

Girl in a Red River Coat

$19.95, trade paperback with B&W photos
ISBN 1-896754-42-2

This popular memoir by former CBC Radio host Mary Peate has finally been reissued in a new format! With elegance and humour, Peate recalls the trials and joys of growing up as an anglophone in 1930s Montreal. Against the backdrop of the Depression, she buys cent candies in Mr. Meyer's store, exasperates the nuns at St. Augustine's School and shoots marbles ("smokies") in the alleyways of her Notre-Dame-de-Grace neighbourhood.

Praise for the first edition:

"This is the best record I've encountered in fiction or fact about our childhood in the Thirties. Its appeal will be broad." – The Globe & Mail

"Girl in a Red River Coat is warm and human in its approach to the problems of early adolescence." – The Ottawa Citizen

Quebec Sketchbook

$19.95, trade paperback with B&W illustrations
ISBN 1-896754-37-6

For over 40 years, John Collins was the editorial cartoonist for The Gazette. This new collection takes readers on a trip – through sketches and words – to Quebec's scenic urban and rural landscapes. Windmills on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, the midway of the Brome County Fair, horse-drawn caleches in Old Montreal and habitant farm-houses: all of these familiar settings and more are depicted in Collins's distinctive style. A great gift for Quebec residents and visitors!

Critical acclaim for Collins's Montreal Memories Sketchbook:

"…You can imagine yourself gliding on a Montreal streetcar, savouring crisp fried potatoes from a chip-wagon, strolling along Prince of Wales Terrace. It is a vision of Montreal as one big neighbourhood." – The Gazette
