Forever Home: Good Old Days on the Farm

By Victor Carl Friesen

From the moment we are cleverly introduced to his family through reminiscences about taking family portraits, it is clear that this is much more than a memoir. Apt literary references, coupled with an artist-poet-naturalist's descriptions of places and events, make this a unique book of prairie life in the 1940s.

Nostalgic Trip to the Farm of Yesteryear

Absolutely wonderful book! I was looking for early farm history to help create education programs for school children learning about pioneer life when I came across this book. The stories were nostalgic and heartwarming and gave me the farm experience through Friesen's reminiiscent descriptions. I left a piece of my heart with his on the family farm he describes so eloquently in this book. I had borrowed it from the library and have now ordered my own copy!
