Forty-six years later those words still ring true: there has since been no book that has brought to life early Calgary the way that Eye Opener Bob does. Perhaps more importantly, it's the closest we'll ever get to Robert Chambers Edwards—Eye Opener Bob —the irrepressible editor of Calgary's most singular newspaper, and the city's most singular denizen. Bob Edwards was a true Canadian original, the prototypical hard-drinking, pull-no-punches editor of the Calgary Eye Opener—at the time the largest paper between Vancouver and Toronto, with a circulation of over 30,000 copies. A paper with the power to elect or dethrone governments, to bring the mighty CPR to reform its ways, and to skewer the pretensions of society like few before or since. Eye Opener Bob brings this fascinating character to life in all his glorious self-contradictions. MacEwan arrived in the city at just the right time to write Eye Opener Bob—the old Sandstone City hadn't yet been whitewashed over by the new money from the Leduc gusher, and there were still living people who had known Edwards. MacEwan ferreted out their stories as only he could do, combined the interviews with hard research, and the result is Grant MacEwan's best book by a country mile. Eye Opener Bob can be enjoyed on its own or as a companion piece to the new compilation of Edwards's writing, Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers, and Unabashed Grafters: A Bob Edwards Chrestomathy.
In To Catch the Wind's exciting sequel, the young Egyptian Baraka is shocked to learn he may be next in line to the throne of Egypt. After the death of his mother, Princess Tanafriti, daughter of Pharaoh Merenptah and first wife of King Solomon, Baraka is charged with carrying out her dying wish and returning the only remaining copies of King Solomon's writings to Jerusalem. When Baraka sails with his friend Dov, they must rely on the wind of the Lord to safely deliver them, especially when Baraka learns he may be the only survivor of Pharaoh Merenptah's dynasty and next in line to the throne of Egypt. As Baraka and his father, Kamenwati, seek Egyptians faithful to Pharaoh Merenptah's family, the adventure continues through a deadly chase across the burning deserts of ancient Egypt. Led into the underground chambers of an ancient temple, the travelers make a startling discovery and solve the mystery of a long-lost relative. But the peril of the desert is matched by betrayal within the band of travelers. The usurper of the Egyptian throne, Amenmose, has crushed his opponents and is now trying to destroy Baraka and his men. Will the rightful man become pharaoh, or will Amenmose continue his oppression? In The Wind of the Lord William Collins's characters learn the importance of faith in the one true God and of allowing Him to guide them into new and exciting directions as they encounter the unexpected.
From the author’s preface: “This book was conceived four years ago, almost to the day, at a time when I was teaching fiddle and mandolin in New York City. It was my idea then, with my students in mind, to compile a book of the most often played, most important and most interesting fiddle tunes from the various Celtic and North American traditions. The tunes were chosen by cataloging a large number of recordings by tune title. A tally was taken to find out which had been recorded most often. This established a foundation of material that could not be left out. To this list I added the names of other pieces which had not been recorded as frequently, but which I knew were played regularly and with respect. I admit to sprinkling the collection with a few lesser known tunes which happen to be personal favorites, but I am sure they will hold their own when placed next to the old war horses of the fiddler’s repertoire. . . . Although I started out with my students in mind this book has turned out to be the book that I’ve always wanted and I hope that it will serve the advanced player as well as the beginner.”
