Billy Parker and The Mystery of the Lost Confederate Gold

Billy Parker is the quintessential 1960s kid—bursting with energy and an insatiable appetite for adventure. Life revolves around the few square miles of the Don Valley that Billy considers his territory until he makes a discovery that will drag him and his pals into a deepening mystery.
The valley has secrets that are better left alone.

Augustus Bridle grew up in Don Mills, Ontario, Canada in the ’60s. It was a unique place, being the first post-war, planned community in Canada, and a unique time, during the cold war. Now retired after a thirty-year career in the commuter transportation industry, Augustus has woven a tale of fact and fiction that strives to give the flavour of the time. Many of the characters and events, including Aunt Emily, are taken from his own childhood.
