Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sprig of Mountain Heather: Being a Story of the Heather and Some Facts About the Mountain Playgrounds of the Dominion
The top 0' the world to you is an old greeting in Ireland, but this little sprig of Mountain Heather brings to you in very reality a bit of the top o' the world. It comes from alpine meadows frequented by the wild goat and the ptarmigan, but known to few people other than those who seek solitude among the snowy summits of the National Parks of Canada.
It is just possible that some of you may not know that heather ?ourishes in Canada and yet there are lofty slopes and plateaus in the Rockies and the Selkirks generously carpeted with heather like the hills and moors of Scotland.
