Containing two hundred colour and black-and-white images, many of them never-before published, this extraordinary book chronicles the lives of two exceptional and inspirational women: sisters, writers, pioneers, and forces of the Canadian imagination. <p>“These two women exert a timeless fascination . . . [their] story reminds us, as Canadians, of where we have come from and how far we have travelled.”<br> —Charlotte Gray, in the introduction to <b>Sisters in Two Worlds</b>.</p> <p>Their childhood was spent in a manor house in the Suffolk countryside.

And Catharine’s beautifully illustrated books on Canadian plants and wildflowers were the first of their kind.</p> <p><b>Sister
