Originally published in 1852, Roughing It in the Bush by Susanna Moodie, with contributions from her husband John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie, is a vibrant, humorous, and wry description of their arrival and life in the young country of Canada after their immigration in 1832 and settlement in the rugged backwoods of what is now Ontario - unimaginably difficult but also breathtakingly beautiful by turns.

Join Susanna Moodie as she vividly recounts her experiences navigating the challenges of life in the unforgiving woods of Upper Canada. As an Englishwoman embarking on a homesteading adventure, her narrative serves as a candid counter to the misleading tales spun by European land agents about the New World. With a blend of humor and honesty, her story captured the hearts of readers upon its publication in 1852, making it a literary sensation. (Summary by Moira Fogarty)
