My Grandfather's Cape Breton

Back in Print in time for the Summer of 2003

From the back cover,

...a timeless story of a young boy and his grandfather...a voyage of discovery that starts for both of them when young Clive arrives one summer at his grandfather's farm in Cape Breton.

Clive, with all the uncertainty of approaching adolescence, has only the vaguest impression of what a cow looks like and what is expected of him. But under the gentle guidance and wry wit of his Acadian grandfather he learns how to gallop a horse without falling off, how to save the hay crop from an approaching storm and how to assist at the birth of a calf.

Clive Doucet creates a dreamy mood in My Grandfather 's Cape Breton, a story about a young boy who leaves the pressure-cooker city to return to the other world of his ancestors.
