Book Description
How many times have you walked by or through an interesting old house, wondering about its past and what tales its walls could whisper if they could answer your questions? Although many of Victoria's heritage homes have disappeared, some remain—some rich and elegant and some working class. All have stories to tell. Valerie Green offers the stories of fifty houses and the people who lived, loved and died in them. The homes are illustrated by architectural artist Lynn Gordon-Findlay in exquisite detail. In If These Walls Could Talk, Valerie and Lynn celebrate Victoria's splendid old houses and the history of another era. They include only those residences still standing. The time span ranges from the 1850s to the 1930s and covers a wide spectrum; there are stories about famous houses of historical importance as well as some less familiar, like the Rockland home that rocked with scandal and a farmhouse with a connection to Harrod's, the famous London retailer. Maps have been included to show exact location.

Our Nell
Author: Candace Savage
Publisher: Formac Publishing Company Limited
ISBN: 1459503171
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Nellie McClung was an extremely controversial figure in the first half of the 20th century: cartoonists viciously lampooned her and Conservatives burned her in effigy. But women across the country loved her. A spirited, witty and compassionate crusader, McClung was a best-selling author, a member of Parliament and a fervent advocate of women's rights. She was also the happily married mother of five, and a woman who loved a fancy hat. In telling this story, Candace Savage has drawn a vivid portrait of Nellie McLung and the times in which she lived. Incorporating McClung's own published writings--her autobiography, novels, short stories and articles--and informed by interviews with many who knew her, Our Nell is an immediate and intimate portrait of a remarkable Canadian woman.
