The 15 sketches that make upGlengarry School Dayslook back affectionately on childhood in Ontario at the time of Confederation. Yet behind Connor’s delightful account of boyhood enthusiasms – and his clear desire for a more orderly and courageous world – lie glimpses of the moral rigidity that also characterized homesteading life in early Canada. Wildly popular when first published in 1902,Glengarry School Daysstill captivates readers with its detailed portrait of children and their misadventures.
