picts the virtues Of the hardy
French folk of Quebec in no

directness with which Mr.. Hemon
opens to the gaze of the reader
the mind and soul of the simple
folk who move through the pages
of his book. Prosaic people they
are, farmers and lumbermen in

by the wizardry of Mr.. Hemon into
figures Of romance and heroism.
The author, we learn, was born
at Brest in 1880. taking a degree
in Oriental languages at Paris in
1904. He Is described by his
family as "a silent man who fled
from the world and loved solitude
and meditation" Perhaps It was
this craving for the silent places
which led him to the province OF
