Oh, what a treasure, thank you, Augusta!  I love the little illustrations on some of the pages.  When I have a bit more time I have to sit down and read it from cover to cover. 

That's wonderful, Augusta!

Is this Canada, can you tell?

I believe it is the State of Victoria in southeastern Australia.

Thanks Doug.
I really wanted to know!
I want to be able to imagine the locale and his upbringing in the context of that envoirenment and the societal forces which bred him

When there's a really long item on the web that I want to read, I print it out and take it up to bed for my nighttime reading fest.  It's nice because I can then pass it on to someone else who might like it, or file it for reading again.
