Title: Voyages: Short Narratives of Susanna Moodie
Author: Moodie, Susanna
Abstract: Susanna Moodie is, of course, best known for her books Roughing It in the Bush and Life in the Clearings, which are largely comprised of short sketches that she had previously published. What is not widely known, however, is that Mrs. Moodie had a long and prolific literary career in which short sketches and tales were among her favoured genres. This book offers a selection of these narratives, unavailable in print since the 19th century but essential to an understanding of Susanna Moodie's work.
