| Fonctions : | The printing block is one of seven in the Mazo de la Roche Whiteoaks of Jalna series. The novel 'The Master of Jalna' tells the story of Renny Whiteoak and the rest of the Whiteoak family in the late 1920's and early 1930's. In 1927, Mazo de la Roche's (1879-1961) novel "Jalna" won the $10,000 first prize in a competition sponsored by "Atlantic Monthly", which provided her the recognition and success in the future. Mazo de la Roche is significant to Mississauga as she lived in Clarkson during the time she wrote her award winning novel, 'Jalna'. Mazo lived in Trail Cottage, which was located on property that had originally belonged to the Benares Estate. Some people speculate the Benares House was Mazo's inspiration for the `Whiteoaks' of Jalna. Mazo was friends with the Harris's and had visited Benares. She was born in Newmarket on as Mazo Louise Roche. She was the only child of Albert and William Roche. Mazo died on 12 July 1961. |
