Sick in Bed Across Two Chairs, with My Feet out through the Window

Description

Grandpa Pike may not have “seen it all,” but he has a lifetime of encounters—both serious and humourous—from his life in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia that make for terrific reading.

Whether it’s relating the magic of “making” firewood, the joy of owning a century-old parlour organ, or relating the frugal way of life within rural communities of his childhood, Grandpa Pike provides a unique perspective on family, school, and work.
