is full of images which have rarely, if ever, been published before.
They
are humorous, shocking, and haunting, but they are never anything
less

innocent—a little like the Canada that was lost in
1914,
to be reborn four
years later, more mature, more world-wise, and, it must be said, a little
harder.
