A Brush Full of Colour
Describes the life and work of Ted Harrison, who is best known for his colorful paintings depicting everyday life in the Yukon.
Ted Harrison Collected
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.

Ted Harrison's Rainbow Road
Jan Stirling and Ted Harrison, the celebrated Canadian painter, met in 2007 and felt an immediate connection. Jan spent more and more time with him, oblivious of their age difference, always feeling his acceptance of her quirky, candid nature. As a jazz musician, she appreciated his ability to improvise with words, without fear of making a mistake. She would suggest a subject and then write down in shorthand what he had to say. Although never edited, these improvs were called poems. They showed that even as his physical freedom diminished, he had a very rich mental life.After Ted passed on, Jan revisited these poems, writing about her experiences with him up to her final visit in January 2015, the last day Ted was conscious. Each chapter is interspersed with Ted's poems. The book shows an intimate side of Ted that deepens our appreciation for his life and work.
Lives of the Improbable Saints
Communard-turned-priest and Radio 4 broadcaster Richard Coles' quirky guide to the saints.
Children of the Yukon
Brilliant, colorful paintings depict children of the Yukon at work and play: snaring rabbits, feeding ravens, racing on snowshoes and hunting moose, panning for gold in famous Bonanza Creek, and exploring the ruins of Dawson City.
The Death and Resurrection of Elvis Presley
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...
