George Salverson, Laura Goodman Salverson’s son, was a distinguished Canadian writer and playwright. He was best known for his extensive work with the CBC radio where he wrote the scripts for such beloved series as The Beachcombers and The Littlest Hobo. However, he kept very little of his writing, being decidedly unsentimental about his work, so when Julie, his daughter, found a series of notebooks from a round-the-world trip he’d taken in 1963 to work on a documentary about world hunger, she knew she’d found something important. But the writer of these notebooks is not the father she thought she knew. From there, Julie traces a fascinating web of personal and political history, of storytelling, of culture and it’s shaping and of a man caught in a time of great change.
