The first time I came across this book was way back in grade 10 English (a subject, if I may add, I loathed ever so much). My teacher only covered chapter 4, "The Noose Tightens" from volume 1.

I confess that I actually didn't sign out and read the book until after I left high school, from the local library. Now I own them (many thanks to Prof. Higgins :D).
With that said, I did watch the CBC coverage of the Remembrance Day ceremony yesterday, with Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall present. After visiting Ottawa earlier this year I was curious to see the ceremony, plus the cenotaph...
