About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVoxvolunteers bring you 11 recordings of The Homing Bee by E. Pauline Johnson. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 1, 2016. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; David Lawrence; fshort; Garth Burton; Greg Giordano; Ian King; Lee Ann Howlett; Lian Pang; Leonard Wilson; Maria Kasper and Tomas Peter. It is eminently fitting that this daughter of Nature should have been laid to rest in no urban cemetery. According to her own request she was buried in Stanley Park, Vancouver's beautiful heritage of the forest primeval. A simple stone surrounded by rustic palings marks her grave and on this stone is carved the one word "Pauline." There she lies among ferns and wild flowers a short distance from Siwash Rock, the story of which she has recorded in the legends of her race. In time to come a pathway to her grave will be worn by lovers of Canadian poetry who will regard it as one of the most romantic of our literary shrines. (from the Biographical Sketch in the Flint and Feather collection)
