‘A Leather Bookmark’ By Bruce Hampson

A Leather Bookmark is a story of a young immigrant Canadian boy, Reginald, and his brother who went to play on a dangerous stockpile of pipes and steel. Unfortunately, their play was interrupted when Reginald fell and hit his head. This event transported Reginald thousands of miles away to Lithuania, the country of his ancestors, and one hundred years into the past, He meets his Jewish great grandfather, Henrik Brodie, who happens to be the same age as he is, and sees how they lived at that time. It had to be a dream, but what he finds in his pocket says otherwise..
