Abstract:
In this much-loved collection of 51 short stories, writer and painter Emily Carr writes of the people and animals in her life. In her inimitable style ÃÂ direct, vital, vivid ÃÂ she tells of her experiences with Native people, her adventures with birds, her love of nature, and of her mischievous pet monkey Woo. The Heart of a Peacock affirms Carr's standing as a writer with the sharp yet tender eye of an artist, with a deep feeling for the tragedies of life, and with a rich sense of the comic.
