A Canadian classic, ideal for inclusion in a Narrtive Poetry unit and as an introduction to ballads and the ballad form, this text raises provocative and interesting questions for students to consider. One man's gold? A fish out of water? Gothic humour? Join as we review these and other topics, teaching methodologies, literary approaches or just a good yarn.
