Speaking Of History Books

The girls spent the past week up at the cottage near Minden, Ontario. While there they certainly did not forget about us, and brought back gifts, which included "1867 and All The Rest Of It - A Short Thin Canadian History Book" by Geoffrey Corfield. This book promises to be a fun little romp, and is accompanied by some highly amusing illustrations!

If anything it certainly promises to be great bathroom reading (isn't that where most of us are afforded the peace to actually sit down, and read ... heck I will hide out in there at times with the purpose of reading only!) and I will do a quick write up on it when done.

If only ALL history texts could be such fun!
