George Ashford

Opis

This is the true story of George Ashford, a young orphan who was sent from Dr. Barnardo's orphanage in London, England, to do a man's work in the lumber camps of Northern Ontario's Muskoka District as one of the "home children" of the British colonies. This was in 1924, before Canadian legislation was drafted to protect the rights of children. George's vivid memories were transcribed and are the basis for this short story of his life-first as an orphan in England and then moving from home-to-home in Canada. An important part of Canadian and British history, this novel reflects on the experiences of a man who through faith and perseverance overcame many hardships to live a long and joyful life.
