Describes the life and work of Ted Harrison, who is best known for his colorful paintings depicting everyday life in the Yukon.
Celebrating beloved Canadian artists, the Collected series is beautifully designed with an affordable format, ideal for gift buyers and visitors. Canadian artist Ted Harrison began to paint as a young boy in school, and in the years since, has both worked and taught as an artist, an illustrator, and an author. The artist’s move to the Yukon in the 1960s opened up his style to the breathtaking artistic interpretations of sea, land, and sky that he is so famous for today. Sweeping lines and broad swatches of color are iconic in Harrison’s paintings, and this collection showcases the multitudes of subjects and settings that he depicts using that signature style. Pairing bold, whimsical colors with sophisticated depictions of life, culture, and the people who live in the wintery North, Ted Harrison’s paintings have a time-tested value and charm that appeals to all ages. This volume is a compendium of some of Harrison’s best and most memorable works. With an introductory essay by author Robert Budd, this collection is a tribute to one of Canada’s most-loved artists.
A is for Arctic, B for Bering Sea, C for Clyde River – and Z for Zangeza Bay – all to be explored above the 60th parallel.

Harrison's Illustrator's Notes on each page enhanced both poem and illustrations by adding valuable historical background. Upon its original publication, many recognised the book as an innovative approach to illustrating poetry for children. For years THE CREMATION OF SAM MCGEE has stood out as a publishing landmark, losing none of its appeal both as a read-aloud and as a work of art This twentieth anniversary edition is a deluxe hardcover-- complete with a spot-varnished cover, new cover art and heavy coated stock -- of a book that remains as entrancing as a night sky alive with the vibrant glow of the Northern Lights.

The first illustrated edition of "O Canada" reveals Canada's singular beauty as only Ted Harrison can paint it.

Communard-turned-priest and Radio 4 broadcaster Richard Coles' quirky guide to the saints.
There is no other way to put it: Elvis is the King. Note the present tense: even though Elvis (supposedly) died nearly forty years ago, he has lived on in our hearts, as a sound, as an image, and as an especially vigorous personality. In fact, it’s safe to say no other celebrity has done so quite as well. The Death and Resurrection of Elvis Presley is the story of that afterlife, of Elvis after he left the building. Walking the eccentrically carpeted rooms of Graceland, bidding into stratospheric sums on his auctioned relics, and mingling among the some 200,000 impersonators of his likeness, Ted Harrison offers nothing less than the ultimate Elvis tribute. Harrison begins, of course, in pi...
