Through his storytelling, Kirby captures the spirit of the era and provides a glimpse into the historical context of early Canadian society. He delves into themes of identity, heritage, and the struggles faced by the inhabitants of Quebec City during a time of political upheaval.

This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Kirby, (13 October 1817 - 23 June 1906) was a Canadian author, best known for his classic historical novel, The Golden Dog. Life: Born in Yorkshire, England, Kirby immigrated with his parents to the United States in 1832, and then to Canada in 1839, where after visiting Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City, he settled in Niagara, Ontario, where his house still stands. Kirby practised as a tanner until his marriage with Eliza Madeline Whitmore, with whom he had three children (one of whom died in infancy.) For more than twenty years, Kirby was the editor of the Niagara Mail (1850-1871) which he purchased from the founder in 1850. From 1871-1895, he was a collector of customs at Niagara, and in 1883, he became a charter member of the Royal Society of Canada. He died at Niagara on 23 June 1906. Kirby's first full-length work was a long narrative, The U.E.: a tale of Upper Canada. Written in 1846 the poem spoke to his political views of the time. He was unsuccessful in his attempts to have it published until 1859, when he published it himself in the Niagara Mail. The Golden Dog: Kirby's importance as a Canadian writer rests largely on his novel The Golden Dog. Taking fifteen years to write, the historical romance was set in New France in 1748. Kirby finished writing this novel in 1873. Although the first edition of the book was filled with errors, it was still very well received by the public and to Kirby's delight, rumoured to have been read by Queen Victoria. The book was described as having both good characterisation and description used to describe rural and urban locations. This novel was heavily influenced by the collection Maple Leaves, by James LeMoine (7 vol. 1863-1906). This provided Kirby with the history, legends, and oral traditions needed to write his book. The Golden Dog was initially published in English and distributed within the United States without his permission in 1877. Kirby's publisher Lovell, Adam Wesson and Company neglected to register the novel properly, so Kirby lost all royalties for his book. The copyright laws of the time stated all Canadian residents must register, publish, and distribute in Canada first, before distributing the book elsewhere, to secure copyright protection. The book was then picked up by New York publisher Richard Worthington, and re-issued in 1878, Kirby, once again, was neglected royalties. In 1885, Kirby secured some rights when the French translation (Le Chien d'Or) was published. Copied versions of the story were, at this time, widely available, but unfortunately for Kirby, the translated version was not selling nearly as well. Sometime later, Kirby was approached by L.C. Page and Company, a publishing company from Boston with an offer of publishing a revised version of The Golden Dog. Kirby accepted this offer and revised the book, making corrections to the book in accordance with new developments in Quebec's history...................

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New from Newbery Honor author Kirby Larson, the moving story of a Japanese-American girl who is separated from her dog upon being sent to an incarceration camp during WWII. Although Mitsi Kashino and her family are swept up in the wave of anti-Japanese sentiment following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mitsi never expects to lose her home -- or her beloved dog, Dash. But, as World War II rages and people of Japanese descent are forced into incarceration camps, Mitsi is separated from Dash, her classmates, and life as she knows it. The camp is a crowded and unfamiliar place, whose dusty floors, seemingly endless lines, and barbed wire fences begin to unravel the strong Kashino family ties. With the help of a friendly neighbor back home, Mitsi remains connected to Dash in spite of the hard times, holding on to the hope that the war will end soon and life will return to normal. Though they've lost their home, will the Kashino family also lose their sense of family? And will Mitsi and Dash ever be reunited?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Kirby's Le Chien d'or / The Golden Dog, a dramatic historical romance that vividly details the intertwined French and English foundations of Canada, is one of the nation's best-known pieces of nineteenth-century literature. A complicated publishing history, however, resulted in severe distortions of the text, so that each edition of the novel moved further from the author's original vision. Now, in the final work produced by the Centre for Editing Early Canadian Texts at Carleton University, editor Mary Jane Edwards returns this beloved piece of literary history to its intended form. First published in 1877, Le Chien d'or draws upon the threads of legend spun around the real-life tablet of the Golden Dog, which can still be seen in Quebec City. The novel's author William Kirby begins his tale in the 1740s, with the murder of the prosperous merchant who lived in the house that bore the tablet, and brings his work to a tragic end that coincides with the destruction of France's North American empire. Weaving historical, literary, and religious allusions together with a powerful lyricism, Le Chien d'or develops an epic narrative of the heroic past and promising future of the Dominion of Canada. Though many versions of Le Chien d'or have been published in both French and English, very few people have read what the author intended to see in print. This edition brings Kirby's unfulfilled legacy full circle by presenting a critically reliable version of his iconic Canadian novel.
