Chronicling the early years of the formidable manor Jalna and the Whiteoak family who inhabit it, this bundle gathers together the first four novels in Mazo de la Roche's treasured Canadian saga.IncludesThe Building of JalnaMorning at JalnaMary WakefieldYoung Renny
Perhaps the most classic novels of Mazo de la Roche's monumental family saga are these four, including the original novel Jalna. They fall in the middle of her books' multi-generation narrative, but were the first books written in the series, and set the stage for the twelve sequels and prequels that were to follow.
History flows swiftly on, and even the formidable family home of Jalna is swept up in its currents in this collection of books 9-12 of the Jalna series. Fortunes rise and crumble as older generations give way to the young, and the reins of tradition strain against the swift rush of progress.
All good things must come to an end, and with these four novels Mazo de la Roche's brings her beloved Jalna saga to a masterful conclusion.

This is the second time Sarah has designed a book cover and interior for me. This book was far more complex, and the design Sarah created presents my work in a professional and even beautiful way. We collaborated together to make adjustments and her ideas and advice was very helpful. The final product far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with Sarah again.
Philip Kent-Hughes, September 2022
Sarah was lovely to work with and patient with the tweaking of the layout of my poetry book. Poetry is a hard thing to layout; the flow of the words on the page is critical to keeping the prosody of the work, and she was very understanding of this process.
Every book cover concept she provided was gorgeous and I wanted to keep them all. I highly recommend her.
Jennifer Mighton, September 2022
I very rarely give 5 stars for anything, but feel Sarah certainly deserves it. Sarah listened to my ideas and suggestions for the cover, she then came back with several ideas which took in my brief, and a couple which she believed may work. It was one of her designs which captured my imagination, certainly not what I expected.
Sarah was very patient and helpful when I struggled with the format...
