A cloud of gloom hung over Mouseland like a blanket. All was not well. The recent cheese shortage grew worse every day. Nothing and no one could explain why this was happening. Tartaf, the Cheese Chancellor could give no reasonable account. Frustrated by these events, the Mouse Council called an emergency meeting in the capital city of Mouseopolis. Every expert, cheeseologists, cheese historians, and cheese makers were assembled to get to the root of the problem. Failing to find a solution, they decided to appoint a hero to investigate the matter. After a careful search, they made an unlikely selection. Mostly Mouse had accomplished absolutely nothing. He was well known in party circles for having a good time. He had no interest in Mouseland’s problems. However, in this society, there were rules, and he was no exception. Mouse Law clearly stated he could not refuse. A major factor in his selection was the fact that he was a direct descendant of Mouse the First, the founder of Mouseland

In Saskatchewan: A New History, award-winning author and historian Bill Waiser presents a fresh, entertaining account and interpretation of Saskatchewan's unique and captivating history. Writing with clarity, candor, and compassion, Waiser describes in detail his province and its people through the stimulating, often tumultuous years since joining Confederation in 1905. A gift to the province from the University of Saskatchewan, written in commemoration of the province's centennial celebrations in 2005, Saskatchewan: A New History tells, above all, the engaging stories of the people of Saskatchewan. Their wisdom, foresight, bravery, toil, and eternal optimism gave birth to one hundred years of extraordinary history. Waiser leaves no stone unturned as he records the events and stories of the people who experienced them: from the province's earliest days, when anything seemed possible; through the years of the Great Depression, when the prospect of greatness seemed all but lost; to the second half of the century, when an intense, at times bitter, debate raged over how best to govern Saskatchewan. Relying on the most up-to-date historical research available, he offers new perspectives on traditional views and tackles previously neglected, often difficult, concepts and events. "What is most striking about these images, aside from the richness of their color and the skillful use of light, are the happy, smiling faces. He could see things like no one else with a camera. He had an uncanny skill to set the scene. He caught people in everyday life and everyday activities and people wanted to have their picture taken by him." Generously illustrated with carefully selected archival images and two sixteen-page color inserts of commissioned photographs by Saskatoon's John Perret, Saskatchewan: A New History also pays a stunning visual tribute to the historical, urban, and natural splendour of Saskatchewan and its people. Includes: two 16-page color photo inserts by John Perret, 205 Black and White photographs and illustrations, 20 reference tables, 15 maps . . . and more.
