Our family has a cottage in the Coe Hill area, which is the setting for this book. I remember reading it as a child and being fascinated by the lives of the Leveridge family in the back woods of Ontario. Anna Leveridge's correspondence with various family members in England gives a unique look at her new life in 19th century Ontario. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a first hand account of pioneer life in Ontario. If you visit the Coe Hill Ontario area, you can still find remains of her old homestead. I visited it 10 years ago and it made the book even more special to me.
