My Times

It's not all 40 books but it's a start. Their author? Pierre Berton.

I always wanted to meet him; even as a child. I just wanted to say "thanks". I vividly remember flipping through The Last Spike as an eight-year-old and to this day, The Secret World of Og is one of the finest children's books ever written.

Thank you Pierre.
