A bright dustwrapper that shows a few small chips & light use with large chip to one corner of rear panel and top of spine as per photo but still robust and unfaded.
A touch of sunning, though still an extremely nice copy of this all Canadian Classic novel that tells the story of a ten year old prairie boy during the depression and his initiation into the mysteries of life, death, God and the spirit that moves through everything: the wind - with a contemporary presentation seldom seen these days. Made into a 1977 genre film scripted by Patricia Watson & directed by Allan King.

A rare signed copy of this Canadian Classic.
