|  | | Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon
Readers of all ages will be mesmerized by Lyn's real life adventures with a saucy orphan raccoon she called Tabasco - smuggling her on 17 airplane flights across Canada, living with her in a no-pet apartment while she was studying at Simon Fraser University, following her to malls, camping in the Rockies, swimming in lakes, log booming in rivers, hiking, skiing, boating, even cougar hunting as well as visiting (and ransacking) schools and friends' homes. She was loved by all, except one, and therein lives a story.
Much as Lyn loves Tabasco, she knows that raccoons are wild creatures, not house pets. The story of Lyn's search for a new, wild home for her beloved companion will melt your heart. Young and old alike will treasure this unforgettable real life tale of Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon.
For almost thirty years, Lyn Hancock kept a special story close to her heart. At last, she is ready to tell it: the remarkable tale of an animal whose saucy personality enlivened her days and brought joy and wonder to the lives of countless people.
At three weeks, Tabasco is a tiny, helpless ball of fluff. Already, the little raccoon's life is unusual: tucked into Lyn's pocket or tote bag, Tabasco accompanies Lyn on a cross Canada tour, making friends every step of the way. By the time they get home, Tabasco is ready to explore the world - inch by exciting, fragrant, tactile inch. N | |  | | The Ring: Memories of a Metis Grandmother

Who would think that Gypsy would lead to the family of two of her students asking her to help them write their family history. The book would be 40 years in production. Their great grandfather Sam was a charismatic Irish immigrant, an explorer, gold prospector, buffalo hunt | |  | | There's a Seal in My Sleeping Bag
This best-selling and much-loved personal account of Lyn’s zany but productive life as the wife of a wildlife biologist on the west coast of North America has been updated, expanded and has a new preface to show what happened to wildlife and wildlife habitat since the 1960s of the first edition. And it’s all there with better photos.
However, Lyn will let you in on a secret. That great shot of a seal on the cover is not an Alaskan fur seal like Sam. It is a fur seal from Western Australia where Lyn was born and raised and where the book begins. This book is a classic - readers come up to Lyn in libraries and their first words are "You changed our lives." This bestseller book has been loved around the world for 50 years but only 10 copies left. This rare book now costs $50 autographed..
