Description

Maurice and His Dictionary A True Story is the remarkable tale of Cary Fagan's father, who was forced to flee his home in Brussels after the Nazi invasion in 1940. With determination and resourcefulness, Maurice pursued his dream of becoming a lawyer, despite being interrupted at every turn by war and displacement. As he navigated through France, Spain, Portugal, and eventually Jamaica, Maurice found innovative ways to continue his education, using his trusty Chambers's English Dictionary to help him learn new words. With the support of fellow refugees, he eventually earned his diploma and set his sights on a new life in Canada. This heartwarming graphic novel tells the story of Maurice's journey, from fear and desperation to moments of lightness and humour, bringing to life the resilience and determination that defined this remarkable true story.
