THE CRANE'S TALE, by Don Crane, is a fine collection of short stories inspired by some unforgettable experiences and observations in Northern Canada together with some reflections on unfamiliary adventures in more distant lands.
It includes true narratives about how mankind coped with frontier conditions while seeing the humorous aspects of the tasks and the optinism that can be found in spite of formidable odds. Some tales relate to the shocking awareness of the growing-up process as sensed by an adolescent boy, while some relate to the consequences of heedless youthful exuberance. In every case, these stories will lighten your heart and transport you into scenes where enjoyment is the general theme, and happiness is the result.
"I have enjoyed my life roaming the frontiers in search of oil and gas and trust you will be happy to come along with me on these excursions." -Don Crane.
