Who Has Seen the Wind
Hardcover
(Canongate Jan. 1, 1980)
, 1st UK ed. Edition
Since its publication in 1947 Who Has Seen The Wind has established itself as a Canadian classic. The book deals with the apparently unexciting subject of a boy growing up in a small town on the Saskatchewan prairie. As readers begin to enter the world of four-year-old Brian O'Connal, it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary book. His family, and, as Brian advances towards maturity, his friends Fat and Art, his teacher, Miss Thomson, and the principal, Mr Digby, and all of the town's characters, even including the far-from-respectable Old Ben and the domineering Mrs Abercrombie—all of them radiate life so convincingly that the book takes on a life of its own. This is no simple, forgettable novel, but the ageless story of childhood told with tenderness and humour and without sentimentality, the picture of a small town anywhere, drawn with realism and understanding.
