Earlscourt - Mysteries and Hopes in a Modest Neighbourhood
David Raymont
What mysteries and hopes can be found behind the doors of 100-year-old modest-sized homes? Learn how a few blocks in a west-end residential neighbourhood can link stories of First Nations, war and its aftermath, two Princes of Wales and a man who loved Oscar Wilde. Passion, hope and history emerge in the most unexpected places.
