Earnest and industrious Beavers, funloving but discontented Frogs, a Lobster named Lugubrious J. Standfast and a wonderful Frog leader are some of the characters in this mythical tale about a Swamp named Canada. This delightfully illustrated and satirically sharp review of Canadian history in the late 1960s and early 1970s features some familiar faces-Lester B. Pearson, Richard Nixon, Rene Levesque, the immaculate chief-frog (chief beaver?) Pierre Trudeau-evolved slightly to survive in Swamp conditions. Frog Fables & Beaver Tales is a clever, hilarious souvenir of a particularly vibrant period in Canadian politics. | Frog Fables & Beaver Tales by Stanley Burke, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
