A Book to Savor,

This review is from: Legends of Vancouver (Kindle Edition)
To start off my review, this is some of the most beautiful prose that I have ever read, and I don't usually say such things. It was nicely descriptive, but without going over into irritating, and I got an amazing sense of place, time, and ever character while reading.
Each story is not only the legend itself, but also the story of how the author learned the legend, which is something many authors attempt, but few ever succeed at, let alone as well as this author. It's like there are these little personal footprints along with each of the stories, giving you a glimpse not just of the society through the story, but also of the society through who told the story to the author, and where. It's amazing; I have no better words for it than that. There is no active table of contents, and the one footnote is not linked. The legends contained are: The Two Sisters The Siwash Rock The Recluse The Lost Salmon-Run The Deep Waters The Sea-Serpent The Lost Island Point Grey The Tulameen Trail The Grey Archway Deadman's Island A Squamish Legend of Napoleon The Lure in Stanley Park Deer Lake A Royal Mohawk Chief |
