BOOK LAUNCH WITH GEOFF MYNETT • The Eventful Life of Philip Hankin
By Caitlin Press
Join Caitlin Press for the virtual launch of Geoff Mynett's latest book, The Eventful Life of Philip Hankin: Worldwide Traveller and Witness to British Columbia's Early History
Bestselling author Geoff Mynett presents the fascinating life of Philip Hankin, British Columbia’s own proverbial “rolling stone” and witness to the shaping of a province in flux.
“Geoff Mynett has delivered an enticing biography of Philip Hankin, a significant figure in Canadian history who is less well known than he might be. Pulling together Hankin’s time in the Royal Navy with the beginnings of British Columbia as the distinctive place it was and is into the present day, the text makes a charming contribution to our understanding of how Canada came to be. And in doing so, what a pleasure it is to read.”
—Jean Barman, author of On the Cusp of Contact: Gender, Space and Race in the Colonization of British Columbia
