At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
‘Trapline Outlaw’ is the tale of Simon Peter Gunanoot: a Hazleton, B.C. trapper who is accused of murdering two men in 1906. Instead of facing trial, he and his family (wife, children, parents, and in-laws) hid in the B.C. wilderness for 13 years. Written by David Ricardo Williams—a practising trial lawyer—the story of Gunanoot’s recapture, trial, and questions of his guilt or innocence make this book a very fascinating read.
An unruly student wakes up one day as his teacher in David Baddiel humorous ‘Head Kid.’
