I learned to read before going to school and still remember some of my early books, especially the terrifying illustrations of Straw Peter. On our return to England my younger sister and I went to a wonderful girls' school in a London suburb, where we learned to write in ancient cuneiform symbols and in Egyptian hieroglyphs. We had ancient myths and legends, and the stories of the Norse sagas read aloud to us. I discovered the stories of E. Nesbit. I found her wonderful blending of everyday life and the world of magic tremendously exciting, especially when we moved, a couple of years later, to Edinburgh, Scotland, which I found very cold and greyuntil I discovered the Carnegie Library and the exciting works of the nineteenth century adventure writers. I told stories to my younger sister and began to dream of being a writer myself.

http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/vol5/no21/whatif.html

Extractions: Review by Darleen Golke. excerpt: The beings were the ship: the ship was the beings. And they were feeding off me. It was my imagination they wanted. I gave it willingly, and the thing around me grew brighter, stronger. The miraculous thing was that I didn't feel any weaker. It did not drain me. I just felt clearer as if a weight was being lifted from me. It was as if I had been saving up for this for years. I don't know how long I stood there. Long enough for the ship's light to become too bright to look at anymore. I closed my eyes, swaying a bit to the music without fear of falling. I was held up by light. Then, at last, I could feel it leaving me, feel it rising. I let it go. You cannot hold onto imagination.

Blaine's Way
monica hughes. Toronto, ON Irwin, 1986. monica hughes has written a brillianthistorical novel that recreates life in rural Ontario from 1930 to 1942.
http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/cmarchive/vol15no1/blainesway.html

Extractions: 1987 January Monica Hughes has written a brilliant historical novel that recreates life in rural Ontario from 1930 to 1942. As seen through the eyes of a bright, naive boy who ages from six to eighteen during the story, life during the depression unfolds with all its simple pleasures, and yet with poverty's pervading ugliness. Blaine maintains the optimism of youth while tragedy boils up on an almost daily basis. The family loses its farm; the mother leaves permanently for the big city (Toronto); the father too can no long live with the shame of accepting charity from his in-laws, and leaves the boy to be raised by his grandparents. The barn burns down, Blaine's first girlfriend dies of pneumonia, and still he perseveres, discovering the joys of reading, of close friends, and later, of true love. Despite his youth, he suffers through backbreaking labour in the tobacco fields and in the broom factory, intent on earning his own way. The story takes on a more serious global nature when war breaks out, and all the young men, including Blaine, rush to enlist. The inevitable tragedies of war are balanced by Blaine's faith in human nature and his love for the girl back home. In spite of the continua] series of depressing events, the brighter ten-to twelve-year-o]ds will find themselves carried along by the author's skill in developing B]aine's character, and in recreating the day-to-day realities of Canadian life during depression and war.
