About This Item
Synopsis
"Muriel Wylie Blanchet, 1891-1961, was born and educated near Montreal. In the early twenties she came to Vancouver Island with her husband and settled on a secluded waterfront overlooking Haro Strait with beautiful Mount Baker in the distance. Left a widow with five small children in 1927, she provided school lessons in winter and four months of sea cruising in summer. The voyages of discovery were made in a twenty-five foot boat, the Caprice. From this the children called their mother Capi and for them she sharpened her special interest in old Indian villages and the wonder of nature so abundant on the coast."

About Pulp & Circumstance
P&C strives to ensure that all items are clean and fairly described. Packages will be wrapped with care and dispatched as soon as feasible, usually on the next business day.
We do not use stock photos. All our photos are of the actual item offered for sale. We try to include the publishers' own descriptions of content by including photos of dust jacket flaps and back covers so far as they seem useful, and we also use photos to show material flaws where we can.
The "Pulp & Circumstance" watermark you might notice in some of our photos does not, of course, appear on any of the items themselves.
Please note that the colour in our photos often fails to come out right. The hue shifts a bit due to the limitations of our equipment, the lighting in our workshop, and of course my own lack of photographic expertise.
Shipping costs per book are always cheaper when more than one book is sent in the same package. Read more about shipping charges in "Terms of Sale" below.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have by email. We will usually respond within 24 hours. Happy browsing!
