Notes

In this memoir, William C. Macklon recounts memories of a childhood spent in the small town of Laura, Saskatchewan (southwest of Saskatoon) in the interwar period. From choking down home remedies to attending fairs to skating at the covered rink to a gramophone’s music, Macklon’s stories are steeped in good-natured humor. Throughout, his anecdotes convey a cultivated fondness for the prairie and a keen eye for immersive details that bring his memories to life.
