Based on my grandfather's 1943 diary, it depicts his time in England with his best friend training for the invasion of Normandy as officers in Canada's Highland Light Infantry. While not entirely accurate to describe it as a "war book" (my grandfather didn't see action until D-Day in '44) it will detail the intensely personal experience of <em>going</em> to war, the humour of young men abroad for the first time, and the preparation, both mental and physical, for what they know will happen next.</p><p>I'm looking forward to my collaboration with Tundra Books (who have published some Canadian classics, including <em>The Hockey Sweater</em>, a favourite of mine and my son) who so far have been nothing but enthusiastic about the project. I'll post updates throughout the process of the book's creation so that fans can see how it's shaping up...and don't forget to circle Rembrance Day '09 on your calendars!</p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">From Scott Chantler's art blog www.scottchantler.com</div>Scott Chantlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16102483225737866946schantler@rogers.com
