This is the memoir/novel that so astonished reviewers in 1979. In it Evans faithfully records his own turn-of-the-century Ontario boyhood through the eyes of a nine year old fictional protagonist, Gilbert Egan.

As one of the most remarkable literary feats by a Canadian, O Time In Your Flight delights more and more readers each year with its technical sophistication and historical charm.

About the Author

Hubert Evans was born in Vankleek Hill, Ontario in 1892 and raised in Galt, Ontario. He worked as a reporter before enlisting in 1915. He married in 1920 and built his permanent seaside home at Roberts Creek, BC. His first novel, The New Front Line (1927) is about a pioneering World War One veteran in BC. He and his wife also lived in northern BC Indian villages, resulting in his acclaimed second novel, Mist on the River (1954). His 0 Time in Your Flight (1979), written in his late eighties despite near blindness, recounts a year in the life of an Ontario boy in 1899. Revered by Margaret Laurence as "the elder of our tribe," the Quaker outdoorsman also published two hundred short stories, sixty serials, twelve plays, three juvenile novels, three books of poetry and one biography. Hubert Evans died in 1986, after seven decades of professional writing.
