      lian goodall likes to wear many different professional “hats.” She has worked as a classroom and museum educator. At present she is a children’s book reviewer, author, editor, historical researcher, and performer. She first became fascinated with William Lyon Mackenzie King’s story while she was working as a bilingual historic interpreter at King’s boyhood home, Woodside National Historic Site of Canada in Kitchener, Ontario.

      lian was born in St. Catharines, grew up in Fergus, Ontario, and has lived in France. Currently she lives in Ottawa, just around the corner from Laurier House, King’s Ottawa residence. She walks past Laurier House every day and wonders where Pat, King’s Irish terrier, used to bury his bones.

      To two women, who dreamed and worked past what their bodies would easily allow them to do. Their examples gave me the inspiration to complete this work: Cathy Pyke, a determined fighter who came back from near death, and Jean Hutchinson (1910-1997), who wrote her history books, even while ill in bed, by tapping on an electric typewriter with two pencils to accommodate her arthritis.
