About the author
Cliff Faulknor (Chauncey Clifford Vernon Faulknor) was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1913. He had a varied career, working as a bank clerk, artillery gunner, land inspector and columnist to name just a few of his occupations. He wrote a national column, and wrote at least 10 books. One of his books, The Smoke Horse, has proved very popular, achieving two different publications in the UK, a rare feat for a Canadian book. Cliff Faulknor also wrote about Canada’s Mr Rodeo, Herman Linder.
Finding the book
This book is reasonably easy to find in the USA. Neither of the UK printings is particularly common, but they are generally reasonably priced when they do appear.
