Heron Dance Press, 2006. Trade paperback of Sleeping Island: A Journey to the Edge of hte Barrens by P.G. Downes.

"In an age when bush planes and the outboard motor were opening up previously inaccessible regions of the Canadian North, Prentice G. Downes, a graduate of Harvard who worked as a school teacher just outside Boston, chose to travel alone by canoe to explore the Great Barren Lands. Sleeping Island is the sensitively written and moving account of one of his trips, a journey made in 1939 to remote, and at that time unmapped, Nueltin Lake."

Very Good. Crisp copy with light shelf wear.
