Studio Billie's Calendar: A Perpetual Calendar

"Missus couldn't run the studio without me," says Billie the dog. This perpetual calendar is much more than 12 pictures with spaces for notes. Join Emily Carr's faithful companion, Studio Billie, on this light-hearted journey through a year in his life. It's 1909 and "the missus" runs a painting studio in Victoria, where she gives lessons to students and paints her own works. Studio Billie is with her always, except when "chained to a wretched kennel" when visiting relatives, or when having to spend time "down on cold rheumatic wind-swept lower decks, when they travel with their missuses holidaying." With "Studio Billie's Calendar," you can share a year with Emily Carr and her loyal dog. Use it year after year to record birthdays, anniversaries and other "splendacious" occasions.
