Old Man Savarin by Edward William Thomson is a collection of short stories about an old lady who goes fishing, an old grandfather who proposes to lend someone some money, a poor couple with twelve young children to feed, and more. Excerpt: "Yes, indeed, my grandfather was once in jail," said old Mrs. McTavish, of the county of Glengarry, in Ontario, Canada; "but that was for debt, and he was a ferry honest man whatever, and he would not break his promise—no, not for all the money in Canada."

This is a collection of 17 short stories and a preceding poem. Of the 16 stories, nine of them are about Canada or Canadians, and five of the other seven, set in the U.S., South Africa, and England, are narrated by Canadian natives. In an extensive review of the book, Glenys Stow says that action is the central theme of Thomson's stories: "a heroic father is swept over Niagara Falls; a lumberman's son works feverishly to salvage a broken crib of logs in order to support his starving family; ten soldiers in the Army of the Potomac gallop through the night carrying despatches at the risk of their lives," Canadian Literature, No. 66, Autumn, 1975, p. 122. In sum, the book provides a view of early Canadian life from a number of different perspectives.
