In "The Long Traverse", John Buchan basically wrote a "Puck of Pook's Hill" for Canadian children, complete to the poems between chapters. Buchan's verse is not up to Kipling's standard, but the story is attractive and well-told. I would have enjoyed it more if there was audience participation as in Pook's Hill, or at least discussion with the presenter as in St Patrick's Summer, rather than watching a "cinema". geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
This enchanting adventure tells the story of Donald, a boy spending his summer holidays in the Canadian countryside. John Buchan knew that some Indians were said to have the power of projecting happenings of long ago onto a piece of calm water. In this tale he chooses Negog, the Native American Indian, as Donald's companion and guide. Negog conjures up a strange mist from a magic fire and brings to life visions from the past. Through these boyish adventures peopled with Vikings, gold prospectors, Indians and Eskimos, Donald learns more about history than school has taught him. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Buchan wrote this book to help the children of Canada understand the history of the country and tried to write it in an interesting and informative way. In this I think he succeeded. ( )
