A to Z Challenge - Favourite Books - The House of All Sorts by Emily Carr

-
The House of All Sorts by Emily Carr.

You know what's odd? I can't remember how I discovered the writing of Emily Carr. I must have picked up Klee Wyck at the Ottawa or Montreal gallery, but I wonder what drew me to her - was it the back cover copy? The brief biography on the last page? I wonder, because now I can't remember what it was like not to know her.

I urge you to read her stories - that link to Klee Wyck is to the Australian Gutenberg site, where they have it for free! Meanwhile, here are a few of my favourite paintings:

Shore and Forest, Cordova Bay

Tree in Autumn

War Canoe, Alert Bay

Westcoast Seashore
