Buckshot & Johnnycakes
by
Allan W. Waddy
'Buckshot & Johnnycakes' is a heart-warming true-life story of two 11 year old boys who met in the Scouting Movement in the Cowichan Valley on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia and spent the next 56 years of their lives sharing one continuous adventure after the other in scouting activities, survival camping, relic hunting for middens, deep sea fishing, buying and selling boats and antique cars, working in sawmills and logging camps, military service, law enforcement, private investigations, hunting for wild game on a private island and numerous other daring exploits from childhood to becoming great grandfathers. These characters are indeed the Canadian Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn complete with sense of humour. This beautiful and touching story of two totally different personalities will bring laughter and tears to your eyes and heart. A must read for the adult child in each and every one of us.
Austin Macaulay Publishing, London, England - Buckshot & Johnnycakes is well written, evocative and a compelling read. Olympia Publisher, London, England - delightful and sensitive story that will have no problem selling.
