About This Item
Toronto: Lester & Orpen Dennys Limited, 1987. The legend of Tranter's Tree begins in the 1720's when young Ned Tranter arrives on the east coast of Canada with only a pocketful of acorns and a thirst for adventure. He steps right into the bloody conflicts between the English and the French, and the British troubles with the Indians and the Acadians.....but when he sets eyes on the mysterious Stephanie the course of his life is changed dramatically. To commemorate a love that endures through his adventures as a voyageur and her marriage to a local man, he plants an acorn on the spot where he first saw her. The oak that takes root there becomes a strange monument to Ned Tranter's wild exploits....and witness to a fateful tragedy.... This book is at once a vibrant celebration of the dreams and longings, humanity and familiar eccentricities of a small town.... and a powerful historical tale. A lovely bright book with no ownership markings. An illustrated dust jacket....illustration by David Prothere.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
