About the author
Peter McArthur (1866–1924) was a Canadian writer and poet. Born in Ekfrid Township, Ontario, he worked early on as a journalist and magazine editor before moving to New York and then Britain. In 1908 he returned home to farm while continuing to write. With a humorous touch he depicted rural life and country observations, and his works often show a warm attention to nature and everyday people. His representative works include In Pastures Green, The Red Cow and Her Friends, The Affable Stranger, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. His writing combines a journalist's clarity with a poet's sensitivity, and his books have also drawn readers interested in personal growth. He died in London, Ontario, in 1924. Public information about his life and work is limited, and existing accounts center on the experiences and works mentioned above.
