About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1987. Many have asked "What's Pierre Berton really like?" Now this lively and sensitive backward look at the first twenty-seven years of a colorful life provides some unexpected answers. With this often witty and always entertaining memoir, faithful readers of Klondike, The National Dream, and Vimy will discover a Pierre Berton they never knew before. There are portraits of the people who influenced him and reflections on the forces that helped shape his furure career. Here, to, is the story of a green seventeen-year-old beginning a seventy-hour week in a Klondike mining camp; of a wild young college student; of an ambitous young reporter who learned all of the tricks of the trade in Vancouver's great newspaper years. From his initiation in a Yukon bordello to his wartime liason with a lonely and forthright London beauty, Berton's memories are unfailingly refreshing. Sixteen pages of photographs provided as well as an index. Photo illustrated, price-intact dust jacket. A clean, bright copy.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
