A beloved Canadian classic for a new generation.
Based on a song written by Canadian songwriter, Wade Hemsworth in the 1940-50's after working in northern Quebec and Ontario, and after he was introduced to Canadian folk music after living in Newfoundland during World War II. His song was the inspiration for the short-film in 1979. Since then, THE LOG DRIVER'S WALTZ has been an essential part of Canadian childhood.
Now critically acclaimed Toronto artist Jennifer Phelan reimagines the story of a young woman who follows her heart, and the log driver who follows her lead. This newly published celebration of Canada, cinema, and music will be treasured by the whole family. "A log driver's waltz pleases all completely!"
Softcover. Published September 2021. In keeping with the author's wishes, proceeds from the sale of this book will fund a grant for Canadian songwriters.
