The Stone Boatmen by Sarah Tolmie

[james_davis_nicoll]

It is a sad truth that a life spent reviewing books, particularly genre fiction, particularly fantasy, involves reading a lot of terrible books. Worse, reading variations of the same terrible book, over and over. There is a benefit, which is that a gem of the first water like Sarah Tolmie's The Stone Boatmen stands out against the rest that much more.

Is that a pic of the university of Waterloo? Looks like it's been dumped in the middle of a wilderness...

It certainly looks like UW in its early days, although I wouldn't quite call the Brubaker farm a wilderness.

It's the most recent photo of it that I have in my easy possession, the view off our back porch.
