Book excerpt: That is how John Young described his remarkable account of his family in turn of the century Canada, a collection of stories that the modern reader can only marvel at. Some of the stories were told to him by his father, but most had to do with a period of his life that he remembered vividly. He told these stories to his children and to his friends to entertain them. When he was bedridden by heart disease, he began to set them down using a pencil and a variety of lined notebooks. Shortly after writing the last story, he died. His son carried the manuscript around for almost fifty years, until a visit to the family farm inspired him to edit the stories for publication.
