Tom Thomson’s Fine Kettle of Friends: Biography, History, Art and Food, is Angie Littlefield’s latest book. Launched at the Toronto Heliconian Club earlier this month, it’s about Tom Thomson’s exciting life rather than his tragic death.

Brimming with reproductions of photos and documents, sketches and paintings, the book makes Tom’s urban and rural experiences and his relationships with a huge number of contemporaries vibrant and immediate. Tom’s donuts were famous, but Angie could find no evidence of exactly what they were like. The tale of her research and the plausible recipes she provides are mouth-watering, calorie-free food for thought.

Angie’s website www.angielittlefield.com provides instructions for buying the book and lots, lots more. Click Book Talks at the top to find out when she’ll be speaking near you.
