Just in case you missed their talk at the Barbara Frum Library, earlier this week, Tyler Trafford and Ted Barris are repeating a joint presentation about their respective books on a near mythical story of the Second World War – The Great Escape. Over a luncheon, on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2013, Barris and Trafford will speak at the main Toronto Public Library. Trafford’s new book Almost A Great Escape explores the love affair between his mother and Great Escaper Jens Muller. Meanwhile, Barris’s new book The Great Escape: A Canadian Story illustrates that the most famous mass breakout of POWs during the Second World War wasn’t full of British heroes and Yankee know-how. The Great Escape was very much a story of Canadian leadership and courage.
When: 12:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 28, 2013.
Where: Toronto Public Library, 789 Yonge St., Toronto.
