Description
The Jo Boy Deserts & Other Stories tells the stirring tale of a young boy forced to work for a cruel mate on a merchant ship in the nineteenth century. A young Vancouver Island girl and her family help him desert ship. The Mystery of the Slashed Cabbages is set in a rural community in Manitoba and tells the story of a Dutch farming family and the troubles they encounter as they try to win a prize for their cabbages at the county fair. The mystery is solved, and the young boys in the story learn something about the tough times in which they live. The Trouble with Esmay is a comic story set in depression-era Winnipeg about an escaped pig and the young ladies who try to help her.
