Klee Wyck
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SUSAN VREELAND Emily Carr's painting and writing were inspired by her lifelong fascination with Native culture and the landscape of British Columbia that she so cherished.
Klee Wyck, first published in 1941, is a collection of twenty-one sketches that document her experiences with British Columbia's indigenous people. It won the Governor General's Award that same year. The title Klee Wyck originated from the nickname given to Carr by one of the Native communities she befriended at Ucluelet. It means "laughing one."
