The Log Driver's Waltz

the long version

Based on the perennially popular Canadian folk song and animated short film of the same name, The Log Driver's Waltz is a modern, contemporary retelling of a young woman whose parents are keen for her to marry. The town's well-to-do doctors, merchants, and lawyers all pursue her, but it's the humble log driver-with his style, grace, and joie de vivre-who captures her attention. When she and the log driver finally meet on the dance floor, their joy leaps off the page. The Log Driver's Waltz brings a hallmark of Canadian childhood to life. -- from the publisher.
