Читать книгу Shabash! - Ann Walsh - Страница 5

Many members of the Sikh community of Williams Lake offered me help and encouragement with this book and it could not have been written without their guidance and support. I learned a great deal from them, from how to make roti to how to put on a turban, although I am not terribly successful at either endeavour. Nor would the hockey scenes have been possible without much help from teachers, coaches and my nephew Anthony Varesi, all of whom answered my questions patiently and offered advice. Guy Chadsey at Beach Holme Publishers believed strongly enough in my story to accept it in its initial stage and guide me through the revision and editing process and Antonia Banyard took my panicky calls and made sure the missing pages were found. I would also like to thank the Ministry of Small Business, Tourism and Culture for their financial support. Thank you to everyone. I hope the finished book lives up to the faith and trust you placed in me.
