Aprašymas

In 1873, Charles Noseworthy, a recent graduate of a middle-class school in England, is sent by his uncle to learn farming in the backwoods of Canada. As an incentive, his uncle offers to buy him his first farm upon graduating from the somewhat dubious 'Academy of Husbandry Science' near Fenelon Falls, Ontario.True to his word, the uncle carries through with his promise of a farm, but unfamiliar with Canada's vast geography, it is located 2,000 miles away in the frontier settlement of Pincher Creek, District of Alberta.Undeterred, Charles sets out alone to claim it, but along the way he meets up with two unexpected travel companions. One is a drifter from New Mexico who is phenomenally fast with a gun, and the other is able to 'shoot' as well, but would much rather indulge in her favourite treats of biscuits and jam.Thus begins an incredible journey through the uncharted regions of Western Canada, where the only law that mattered was what you were packing on your hip. This suited Wil Carter - whose secret identity is the "Kid Cupid" - but rumour has it that there is another gun coming to Pincher Creek.Will Charles and Wil be able to settle down in peace, or will Wil be forced to face yet another showdown? Find the answer in your copy of The Brit, Kid Cupid, and Petunia.
