Eight-year-old Timothy and his family have moved from the sleepy and comfortable hamlet of Guilfoyle to the endless traffic and suburbia of Toronto. But unlike his two brothers, Timothy is never really happy until he's back among his own people. Magic Maple Days tells the story of Timothy growing up and dealing with life's joys and pains, all through his visits to Guilfoyle. As you read through the chapters -- which are really a series of short stories -- be charmed as you meet the characters and encounter the traditions that make up this picturesque Irish-Canadian village. Fall in love with the fields, mountains, rivers and farms in a community that's strongly based on author Frank King's childhood in rural Quebec.
