Bannock, Beans and Black Tea #[nn]

This collection gathers the first two volumes of John Gallant's autobiographical comic strip series, originally serialized in The Guardian newspaper in Charlottetown. It offers a gentle, firsthand account of growing up in rural Prince Edward Island during the 1930s, capturing the small details of daily life—from homemade meals to community resilience—through Gallant's warm, deceptively simple linework. Drawn & Quarterly's edition compiles these newspaper strips into a single, cohesive volume that preserves the charm and historical texture of the original installments.
