Books with author Elizabeth McDonald

Audrey Kinkora only has three goals in life: become the best volleyball player on her team, attend the best parties on campus, and have the hottest guy as a boyfriend at Arial State University, and, so far, she's achieved all three.When she finds out she's one of the few half-Fae and half-Mer hybrids in her small, magical hometown, she's faced with the decision to take up responsibilities that she finds too difficult to deal with, and everything – including the scales! – that comes along with it. These duties includes saving the peoples whose blood runs through her veins while dealing with the allure of the college life calls her name, which is growing stronger every minute. But soon Audrey realizes that the longer and farther she hides, the worse the pangs that comes with responsibilities get – and the faster she gets thrown down the hole as she encounters the mystery of the blood of the Mer and Fae and all it entails.

In "Our Little Canadian Cousin," my intention has been to tell, in a general way, although with a defined local setting, the story of Canadian home life. To Canadians, home life means not merely sitting at a huge fireplace, or brewing and baking in a wide country kitchen, or dancing of an evening, or teaching, or sewing; but it means the great outdoor life—sleighing, skating, snow-shoeing, hunting, canoeing, and, above all, "camping out"—the joys that belong to a vast, uncrowded country, where there is "room to play." This wide and beautiful Canadian Dominion possesses, of course, a great variety of climate and of scenery. To treat at all adequately of those things, or of the country’s picturesque and romantic history, would require far more scope than is afforded by this one small story.

Our Little Canadian Cousin is essentially a children’s story written by Elizabeth Roberts MacDonald and published in 1904. However, as the author herself states, the book is far more than just that.Focusing on Canadian lifestyle and the main activities and interests of the Canadian people around the turn of the 20th century, the novel is a quaint and inspired little tale about what it truly meant to live in a beautiful land, where people were in harmony with nature, and the sparse population, the wide diversity of climate conditions and the distinct customs of the land had turned each and every moment into a genuine, exciting adventure.Elizabeth Roberts MacDonald was born in the famous Roberts household, where together with her four brothers, she enjoyed an imaginative childhood in which reading books and sharing stories was the main activity everyone engaged in. One of her brothers was none other than the famous poet Charles G.D. Roberts.Elizabeth Roberts was educated at the Collegiate School in Fredericton, and taught at the School for the Blind in Halifax. Her numerous poems, essays and stories were published in well-known literary periodicals like The Independent, The Century and Outing Magazine, and the publication that made her truly famous was her 1906 poetry book, Dream Verses and Others.In this novel, Roberts’ love and knowledge of nature, as well as her eloquent wording and elegant writing style makes for a truly delightful and enjoyable read. In it we find out the essence of Canadian home life, which is not just defined by brewing and baking traditional dishes, but also by the great outdoor life, through activities like skating, hunting and sleighing.
