Cook Lyn; Davies Mary; French adaptation by Michiline St Cyr
Jolly Jean-Pierre / Voyage Extraordinaire de Jean-Pierre
Toronto: Burns and MacEachern Limited 1973. 35 pages. Bound in cloth printed in full colour with illustration of Jean-Pierre the voyageur. Extremities rubbed with minor colour loss; front board just barely bowed. Binding tight text pages clean and bright. Ex-library marks consist of inkstamps to edges and to prelims; half-title page is rippled at former site of pocket. A versified tall tale put into the mouth of a voyageur - Bilingual in English and French. The English version the original is the latest example I have seen of the genre of poetry purporting to represent the Habitant dialect in English. Cook does not attempt as did William Henry Drummond who invented of the genre to reproduce the "charming" pronunciation but in the 21st century such lines as "But suddenly I wake up fast! The boat she jump and spin - " leave me simply dumbstruck with amazement. The French version is an adaptation and renders the story in prose with considerably more detail and a more literary form "Soudain je sentis mordre � l'hame�on . Le canot sautait et dansait." In any case definitely a literary curiosity as a very late example of humourous but sympathetic Habitant patois poetry in English. By a distinguished Canadian children's author; we usually have a number of Lyn Cook books available please search our stock or enquire. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 10" x 8.25" 25.5cm x 21cm.
