Our Little Canadian Cousin

In Our Little Canadian Cousin my intention has been to tell in a general way although with a defined local setting the story of Canadian home life. To Canadians home life means not merely sitting at a huge fireplace or brewing and baking in a wide country kitchen or dancing of an evening or teaching or sewing; but it means the great outdoor life—sleighing skating snow-shoeing hunting canoeing and above all camping out—the joys that belong to a vast uncrowded country where there is room to play.. This wide and beautiful Canadian Dominion possesses of course a great variety of climate and of scenery. To treat at all adequately of those things or of the country's picturesque and romantic history would require far more scope than is afforded by this one small story.
