| 1 | Henry and the Cow Problem | 1995 | Iona Whishaw | Buy |
Henry and the Cow Problem (1995) is Iona Whishaw’s only children’s book. Published twenty years before she started her Lane Winslow mystery series, this picture book tells the story of a boy named Henry and his difficulties with a particularly stubborn cow.
Whishaw would go on to become much better known for her historical mysteries set in 1940s British Columbia, but this early work shows her connection to the rural Canadian landscape that also runs through her later fiction. Readers interested in Whishaw’s main body of work should check out the Lane Winslow series.
