About This Item
Synopsis
Wayne Gretzky , also known as The Great One, was the executive director of the Canadian men’s hockey team at the Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, 2002. It was his idea, with Trent Evans, to turn this story into a book by Roy MacGregor. Roy MacGregor is Canada’s greatest hockey writer. His books include the bestsellers Home Game (with Ken Dryden), The Home Team, shortlisted for the 1996 Governor General’s Award, and A Life in the Bush. He is also a bestselling children’s author with the Screech Owls series of hockey-themed mysteries, which has more than a million copies in print in Canada. His latest work of adult non-fiction is Escape: In Search of the Natural Soul of Canada. Bill Slavin ’s passion has always been illustration. Primarily in pen and ink and watercolour, his work encompasses both children’s picture books and non-fiction illustration. Among the more than fifty books illustrated by Bill Slavin are Rosie Backstage, The Cat Came Back, The Stone Lion, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Big Book of Canada. From the Hardcover edition.
