 Great Canadian Heritage Treasure |
 A fabulous treasure, a book classic, signed by the famous author/adventurer himself... not once, but twice...
It's even better than that; instead of a straight autograph, there are added inscriptions in each case, including one to someone who was a named special friend. And each dated as well... Autographed books of major historical players do not get better than this... Fred Burnham inspired Lord Baden-Powell, with his wealth of knowledge about scouting, to start the world-wide scouting movement. He was also the chief scout for Lord Roberts on his fabled March to Pretoria. But don't be fooled; within a year the widower would remarry and start a whole new relationship. Who among us would have the energy to do that.?

Kate, who further inscribed it as a Christmas present, is perhaps his daughter... A wonderful treasure from the elite artist at whose feet JEH Macdonald of the Group of Seven learned about painting...

A father's fervent wish for his only son would end in tragedy with an early death for his boy who was typical of thousands of civilians who volunteered in World War II. Above Joe with his dad and young Colclough (Coal-klee), a couple of years before he got this bible.

How absolutely fabulous to find a copy of Arthur Heming's The Living Forest, that he had personally inscribed and autographed the year it was published.
