No Spring Chicken

Eileen Comstock charmed thousands of readers with her best-selling books Aunt Mary in the Granary and Sunny Side Up. Her humour and observations about life on the prairies during the depression struck a chord with many who recalled those times or who grew up hearing the stories from their parents. In No Spring Chicken, she reflects on her years as a farmer, mother, and senior with her trademark humour. Filled with anecdotes about her life on the prairies, her family, and the joys of getting older, it is the celebration of a life well lived - a life that had it's share of hard times and hard work, but one she wouldn't have traded for all the tea in China.

Sunny Side Up

The Great Depression of the 1930s was devastating for the prairies, but many people who grew up through those years treasure their memories of the good times they had. Sunny Side Up looks at the brighter side of the Depression, bringing together stories of close-knit families, strong friendships, and prairie ingenuity. Eileen Comstock, author of the bestselling Aunt Mary in the Granary, combines her own recollections with those of thirty men and women who grew up in poverty but were rich in the things that counted. This book celebrates the resilience and spirit of prairie folk who endured the worst and were still able to build fond memories for their children.

Aunt Mary in the Granary and Other Prairie Stories

CBC listeners will be familiar with Eileen Comstock's whimsical stories about growing up on the prairies in hard times. Looking past the troubles that came with drought, depression, and tough times, she recalls the good people and happy moments that made survival possible and even enjoyable. She captures the spirit of rural life in the 1930s with humour and warmth, as well as offering an entertaining account of how things used to be. Tornadoes, ghost stories, hand-me-downs, outhouses, Eaton's catalogues, and barn animals all play a part in her memories. Readers will respond to her unique perspective on the events and experiences of a prairie childhood.
