Item description from seller

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The Black Bonspiel of Willie MacCrimmon is a whimsical tale on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavour. Filled with wry humour and set against the backdrop of a timeless small down dynamic, the story of Willie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil is a prairies-based tour de force. The Devil's Instument depicts a Hutterite teenage struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as "Happy? I am free!" invite the questions: is it better to conform to society or to freely express artistic impulses? This collection provides humour, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal.
