Back by popular demand, Dancing in Gumboots is the long-awaited sequel to Caitlin Press' wildly successful anthology, Gumboot Girls. After the extraordinary success of Gumboot Girls comes the sequel anthology, Dancing in Gumboots. Having relocated to Comox, Jane encountered a new group of women who traveled to the Comox Valley in the 1970s. Fascinated by their stories, Lou Allison and Jane Wilde return to their dynamic partnership to bring us an anthology that shines a light on these trailblazing women and their unique stories. The 1970s was a time of intense cultural shifts for women all over North America. Freedom from traditional gender roles and expectations encouraged widespread relocation of young women seeking adventure and meaning, often migrating from urban to rural locations. The agricultural area of the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island offered a unique opportunity to these young women. Dancing in Gumboots collects the stories of thirty-two women who traveled from around North America to Vancouver Island, eventually settling in and around the Comox Valley. The young women who chose the agricultural Vancouver Island area to make their homes, showcase the personal challenges and struggles arising from such radical change.

Gumboot Girls and Dancing in Gumboots chronicled the fascinating and inspiring stories of the 1970' s migration of women seeking a new way of life on BC' s West Coast, from Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. But what about the men who came in search of their own adventure, who became smitten with boats and the smell of salty air? Now, Gumboot Guys joins the two previous collections in chronicling this exciting decade, when all seemed possible.Stories of buying, fixing, building and running boats; learning to navigate the ocean' s many moods; describing the abundance, and subsequent decline, of salmon stocks; and many, many tales of the unpredictable nature of life on the sea paint a vivid picture of the thrilling, adventurous and occasionally dangerous world awaiting these men. The constant current running through each of these stories is community-- the guidance of experienced mentors, the encouragement from fellow adventure-seekers and the generous support of partners and families. These stories serve as a time capsule commemorating an era of hope, fortitude and freedom.

In much of modern fiction, it is the clothes that make the character. Garments embody personal and national histories. They convey wealth, status, aspiration, and morality (or a lack thereof). They suggest where characters have been and where they might be headed, as well as whether or not they are aware of their fate. At the Mercy of Their Clothes explores the agency of fashion in modern literature, its reflection of new relations between people and things, and its embodiment of a rapidly changing society confronted by war and cultural and economic upheaval. In some cases, people need garments to realize themselves. In other cases, the clothes control the person who wears them. Celia Marshik's study combines close readings of modernist and middlebrow works, a history of Britain in the early twentieth century, and the insights of thing theory. She focuses on four distinct categories of modern clothing: the evening gown, the mackintosh, the fancy dress costume, and secondhand attire. In their use of these clothes, we see authors negotiate shifting gender roles, weigh the value of individuality during national conflict, work through mortality, and depict changing class structures. Marshik's dynamic comparisons put Ulysses in conversation with Rebecca, Punch cartoons, articles in Vogue, and letters from consumers, illuminating opinions about specific garments and a widespread anxiety that people were no more than what they wore. Throughout her readings, Marshik emphasizes the persistent animation of clothing—and objectification of individuals—in early-twentieth-century literature and society. She argues that while artists and intellectuals celebrated the ability of modern individuals to remake themselves, a range of literary works and popular publications points to a lingering anxiety about how political, social, and economic conditions continued to constrain the individual.

A descendant of early pioneers of New South Wales, James Rowland combined a thirst for adventure with a strong sense of duty. Aged just 22, he became a Lancaster pilot in the elite Pathfinder force, flying 34 missions over occupied Europe and being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In January 1945, he was the only survivor of a collision with a Canadian aircraft over Germany. After narrowly escaping being shot as a spy, he spent the rest of the war as a POW. Returning to the RAAF in 1947, Rowland was a test pilot during the early years of the supersonic era, and played a leading role in the Mirage procurement. His leadership qualities and technical expertise saw him become head of RAAF engineering in 1972, and, in a controversial appointment, Chief of the Air Staff in 1975, the first and still the only engineer to head the RAAF. In 1981, Rowland was appointed Governor of New South Wales, a position he held with distinction for eight years. A brilliant pilot and aeronautical engineer, who combined a strong commitment to duty with a great sense of fun, Rowland has a well-earned place among the great leaders of the RAAF.

Description 'The Tale of Greta Gumboot and Other Stories' is an exciting collection of magical tales about the adventures of brave (and not so brave) boys, girls, wizards, witches and talking animals. The stories are set in strange and wonderful worlds, sparkling with magic. There's also a selection of children's rhyming stories like poetry that will hopefully provoke the odd bout of joyous laughter and the occasional gasp of surprise. These include some of my favourites the Epheline stories. He's part cat, part Elephant, particularly cute, furry and purple as they come. He has the ability to let out a magical musical whistle, that sends children safely to sleep back in there own soft, warm beds. He prefers only to come out at night and is about to make some wonderful new friends in the woods and the park. Aimed at boys and girls ranging in age from five years old to nine. There's plenty of fun and adventures for any child. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it... About the Author I was born in March 1986, on the Isle of Wight. I went to school there and then proceeded to study IT at college. Soon after college I was diagnosed with OCD. I have in the five years since lost interest in IT (Except for writing and illustrating uses and my website of course) and at the age of twenty I wrote a children's story based on a family member for a bit of fun called 'The Tale Of Hammy Telling And His Tiny Little Telling Tummy'. With this, the first children's story I'd written in my adult life coming in the short list of the academy of children's writers' competition, I decided to study with them with the aim of becoming a successful and respected writer of children's literature. With the support of a loving family I've finally got my first book out there...

Returning to the fascinating 1970s migration of young people to BC' s West Coast, Gumboots in the Straits gathers more stories of the romance of the sea and the demographic and personal change of that time. As adventurous young men made their way to Vancouver Island and the many other islands scattered throughout the Salish Sea in search of opportunity and new experiences, they discovered paths beyond the reach of roads and new horizons, both physical and metaphorical, where all seemed possible. They learned new skills, faced new challenges, and lived new adventures. This fourth volume in the Gumboot series includes stories of the allure and possibility of life on boats and on the water to earn a living, and to experience a new and completely different world. Gumboots in the Straits joins bestsellers Gumboot Girls, Dancing in Gumboots and Gumboot Guys in capturing the dynamic momentum of the decade and the enduring allure of the BC Coast.
