Join writer, editor and publisher Howard White for an in-person talk based on the recently released “Raincoast Chronicles: Fifth Five” 7pm, Tuesday, November 5th at the Courtenay and District Museum.
Brimming with stories and images, this fascinating collection celebrates Harbour Publishing’s fifty-year commitment to recording the unique ways of life that have sprung from the West Coast. “Raincoast Chronicles: Fifth Five” includes stories of disasters at sea, scarcely believable bush plane feats, eerie events at coastal ghost towns and reminiscences of the Schnarr sisters who kept cougars as pets, along with pieces by some of BC’s most iconic writers.
Howard White was raised in a series of camps and settlements on the BC coast and never got over it. He started Raincoast Chronicles and Harbour Publishing in the early 1970s and his own books include Spilsbury’s Coast and Writing in the Rain. He has been awarded the Order of BC, the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour and a Honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree from the University of Victoria. In 2007, White was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
Copies of “Raincoast Chronicles: Fifth Five” will be available for purchase ($60 plus tax, Harbour Publishing) and signing after the talk.
Admission to the evening is $5 per Historical Society member; $6 non-members. Advance tickets are strongly recommended. FMI or to purchase tickets over the phone call 250-334-0686 ext. 2.
