About This Item
B/W photography by Yvan Vallee. 16 b/w photos, including one of Grant Johnston in the book and on the front of the box that protects the collection. The author was born in Quebed City in 1941 and has worked as a newspaperman in Quebec, Timmins and Montreal. A descendant of Susanna Moodie, the early Canadian writer, Grant spent many summers in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, living with fishermen and writing poetry. (Sadly, the poet and a passenger died in a car crash in 2004.)

About Stillman Books
After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
