Traill, Catherine Parr

Canadian author

née Strickland

born Jan. 9, 1802, London, Eng.

died Aug. 29, 1899, Lakefield, Ont., Can.

nature writer who, in richly detailed descriptions of frontier life, was one of the first to praise the beauties of the Canadian landscape.

Traill, a writer of children's books in England, emigrated to the wilderness of Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1832 with her husband and her sister, the writer Susanna Strickland Moodie. The Backwoods of Canada (1836), which was based on a series of letters written to her mother in England, was the forerunner of the Canadian nature essay. This book was followed by The Female Emigrant's Guide, and Hints on Canadian Housekeeping (1854) and The Canadian Settlers' Guide (1860), entertaining and practical narratives of frontier life. Also a naturalist, Traill wrote Canadian Wild Flowers (1869), Studies of Plant Life in Canada (1885), and Pearls and Pebbles (1895), on birds and animals. She introduced the animal story for children into Canadian literature with the publication of Afar in the Forest (1869). Like her nature writings, these stories abound in lyrical descriptions of the fields and forests.
