ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ray Argyle grew up in the British Columbia mountain community of Creston, the town that Edward Mallandaine helped found after having been present for the driving of the Last Spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Ray’s early memories are of fishing in the rivers, swimming in the lakes, and climbing the mountains that rose up behind his home.
These pastimes always left him time for reading, and Ray decided early on to be a writer. He got his first newspaper job fresh out of school and later worked for the global news agency British United Press, as a correspondent and bureau manager. This included a stint covering the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria, where he often strolled past Edward Mallandaine’s boyhood home. Ray later worked for the old Toronto Telegram where he was editor of the Telegram News Service.
Ray established Argyle Communications Inc., a corporate communications company, and has worked with business and government leaders around the world. He has been a school trustee, and a trustee of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario.
Besides The Boy in the Picture his books include Turning Points: the Campaigns that Changed Canada and Scott Joplin and the Age of Ragtime. He has written for Reader’s Digest, Canada’s History Magazine (formerly The Beaver), the National Post and other publications.
Ray has three daughters and four grandchildren. He and his partner Deborah Windsor divide their time between Toronto and Kingston, Ontario.

For his service in battle, Sergeant Gander was awarded the Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent to the Victoria Cross for humans. This honour is dedicated to animals displaying gallantry and devotion to duty while under any control of the armed forces. Sergeant Gander is the nineteenth dog to receive this medal and the first Canadian canine to do so.
The Underground Railroad
Next Stop, Toronto!
by Adrienne Shadd
978-1-55488-429-2
$16.99
The Underground Railroad: Next Stop, Toronto! stands out as an engaging and highly readable account of the lives of Black people in Toronto in the 1800s. This a richly illustrated book examines the urban connection of the clandestine system of secret routes, safe houses, and “conductors.” Not only does it trace the story of the Underground Railroad itself and how people courageously made the trip north to Canada and freedom, but it also explores what happened to them after they arrived. And it does so using never-before-published information on the African-Canadian community of Toronto. Based entirely on new research carried out for the experiential theatre show “The Underground Railroad: Next Stop, Freedom!” at the Royal Ontario Museum, this volume offers new insights into the rich heritage of the Black people who made Toronto their home before the Civil War. It portrays life in the city during the nineteenth century in considerable detail.
The Real Winnie
A One-of-a-Kind Bear
by Val Shushkewich
978-1-89621-989-9
$16.95
The story of Winnie, the real Canadian bear that captured the heart of Christopher, son of A.A. Milne, and became immortalized in the Winnie the Pooh stories, is told against the backdrop of the First World War. In August 1914, a Canadian soldier and veterinarian named Lieutenant Harry Colebourn, en route to a training camp in Quebec, purchased a black bear cub in White River, Ontario, which he named Winnipeg.
First a regimental mascot for Canadians training for wartime service, Winnie then became a star attraction at the London Zoo, and ultimately inspired one of the best-loved characters in children’s literature. For those many generations of readers who adored Winnie the Pooh, and for those intrigued by the unique stories embedded in Canadian history, this book is a feast of information about a one-of-a-kind bear set during a poignant period of world history.
