Item description from seller

The Mersey Story, Thomas H. Raddall; Bowater Mersey Paper Company Limited, Liverpool, Nova Scotia, 1979. First edition. From the blurb – Liverpool author, Thomas H. Raddall, was born in Hythe, Kent County, England in 1903. He attended St. Leonards School there until 1913 when his father transferred from the British to the Canadian Army and brought his family to Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 1922, Raddall studied accounting in a Halifax business school and took a job with a small wood pulp mill on the Mersey River near Liverpool. He enjoyed life in the woods and for several years spent his holidays exploring the forests of the Mersey watershed. This gave him a close acquaintance with loggers, river drivers, hunters and the Micmac Indians, and it gave him much material as a writer in later years. In 1929, Raddall began work for the newly opened Mersey Paper Company where he acted as Accountant and Mill Cashier. Following initial successes as a magazine short story writer Raddall left Mersey to become a professional author in 1938. This book, 125 pages, is in near-fine condition. The dust jacket is also in near-fine condition and is now in a protective mylar wrap.
