Overview
Overview
When you take the Howland Ridge Road northeast out of Millville, New Brunswick and come to the place where the snowplough turns around, a narrow track plunges on into the deep woods of the Keswick River watershed. Howland Ridge commands a grand view of sparkling lakes, small rivers, forested valleys, and low mountains.
This is the setting for Chris in Canada. This is where Noel Polchis,
an Indigenous hunter, introduces Chris, newly arrived from England, to a way of life on the land beyond the farm. Chris has come with his family to settle on the last farm on Howland Ridge Road, but it is the attraction of adventures with Noel in the great woods of central
New Brunswick that catches his imagination.
George Frederick Clarke published Chris in Canada in 1925.
It remained in print for over twenty-five years. The success of this book turned Clarke's writing in a new direction. He went on to create a series of well-received books about New Brunswick and became one of the province's best-loved authors.
Chris in the Wilderness, a sequel to Chris in Canada, will be
published in 2022.
