<p class="book_description">"Missus couldn't run the studio without me," says Billie the dog. </p> <p class="book_description">This perpetual calendar is much more than 12 pictures with spaces for notes. Join Emily Carr's faithful companion, Studio Billie, on this light-hearted journey through a year in his life. It's 1909 and "the missus" runs a painting studio in Victoria, where she gives lessons to students and paints her own works. Studio Billie is with her always, except when "chained to a wretched kennel" when visiting relatives, or when having to spend time "down on cold rheumatic wind-swept lower decks, when they travel with their missuses holidaying." </p><p class="book_description">With <i>Studio Billie's Calendar</i>, you can share a year with Emily Carr and her loyal dog. Use it year after year to record birthdays, anniversaries and other "splendacious" occasions. </p>
