W.O. Mitchell's best-loved book tells a timeless and heartwarming tale of the young boy, Brian O'Connal, who grows up with the restless wind, the endless sweep of sky, the lonesome prairie of Saskatchewan. The sunlit story of a boy and his dog, his first skates, his gang, and the shack where they sneak away for a smoke - it is also the deeply moving portrayal of a small Canadian town during the dark days of the depression. Charged with a special people's humour, courage, and strength of character, it stresses the qualities that protect a child's innocence while giving him the burning need to know what makes a boy a man.
