A Tale of the Rice Lake Plains

When Hector Maxwell, his sister Catharine, and their cousin Louis Perron lose their way in the Canadian wilderness, an afternoon excursion becomes a years-long struggle for survival. Relying on courage, ingenuity, and the natural resources around them, the young castaways build shelters, gather food, hunt, and endure the dangers of the changing seasons. Their isolated community grows when they rescue Indiana, a young Mohawk woman.

First published in 1852, this edition is derived from the original book with 6 black & white illustrations by William Harvey. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.

Catharine Parr Traill

was an English-born Canadian author, naturalist, and pioneer whose writings helped document early settler life and the natural world of nineteenth-century Canada. Born Catharine Parr Strickland in Suffolk, England, she grew up in a literary family and began writing children’s stories at an early age. In 1832, she emigrated to Upper Canada with her husband, Lieutenant Thomas Traill, settling near present-day Peterborough, Ontario. Her sister, the writer Susanna Moodie, also emigrated to the region.
