Here Comes The Moon
Here Comes the Moon, a country collection
"Have you ever wondered about the use of the word “progress” as in “you can’t stand in the way of progress”? And wondered why, in this context, progress always seems to involve some destruction of the environment, and habitat for animals? And why, in comparison to thirty years ago, is the joyful dawn chorus of birds so muted now? Could it be due to the progress we’ve made?"

Margaret Blair’s powers of description are impressive. This is a book of great charm.

Reading Here Come the Moon was an enjoyable experience. I’ve been variously amused, informed and inspired.

Here Comes the Moon is informative, charming and at times very funny.

How very little Ontario city dwellers seem to know about the heartland of the province. Thank you for working to remedy that.

“Here Comes the Moon” is a charming collection of essays about life in rural Canada, brief lives of some Canadian women of note, and reflections on times past, some wistful, some funny and one about Raggedy Ann and Golliwog with a killer punch line.
“It is the perfect bedside book, something to dip into before turning out the lights, to leave for a guest to read.”
