In 1927, after decades of working in obscurity, Canadian painter and writer Emily Carr was invited to participate in an exhibition at the National Gallery. During her cross-country journey to the exhibition, she began recording her experiences, thoughts, and emotions--a practice she would continue throughout most of the rest of her career. This reprint of a volume originally published by Clarke, Irwin & Company in 1966 presents Carr's journals along with a new introduction by Gerta Moray (art history, U. of Guelph).
