W.O. Mitchell
When W.O. Mitchell died in 1998, he was described as "Canada's best-loved writer." Every commentator agreed that his bestâ€”and his best-lovedâ€”book was ,Who Has Seen the Wind,. Since it was first published in 1947, this book has sold almost a million copies in Canada.,As we enter the world of four-year-old Brian O'Connal, his father the druggist, his Uncle Sean, his mother, and his formidable Scotch grandmother ("she belshes â€¦ a lot"), it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary book. As we watch Brian grow up, the prairie and its surprising inhabitants like the Ben and Saint Sammyâ€”and the rich variety of small-town charactersâ€”become unforgettable. This book will be a delightful surprise for all those who are aware of it, but have never quite got around to reading it, till now.
