Throughout the tour he shares decades of laughter, tears, fears, and growth. In 1910, the certain path of David's life in Scotland is disrupted by the visit of an awe-inspiring comet. This brilliant visitor inspires the boy to dream of circling the world, like the comet, even though his life's goal is to become a farm manager, like his father. As a young man. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Caldow, David.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2002053047 600 17 Caldow, David.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/480114 650 0 Farm managers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85047228|zBritish Columbia|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79058445-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 7 Farm managers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/921110 651 7 British Columbia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1205265 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKoretchuk, Patricia.|tChasing the Comet : A Scottish-Canadian Life.|dWaterloo : Wilfrid Laurier University Press, ©2006|z9780889204072 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1423911|zOnline eBook.
