Butts, Ed
Entry updated 9 January 2023. Tagged: Author.
(1951- ) Canadian editor, journalist and author, much of his work being reflections on Canadian history, often for Young Adult audiences; though he began publishing work of genre interest with "A Meeting of Hunters" in Eerie Country for 1982, he is perhaps best-known over many decades for his nonfiction studies. This Game of War (2022) is of sf interest through its Timeslip traversal of several points where its young protagonist may learn about the costs of War through moments of immersion in World War One, World War Two and the Cold War. His own ancestors help him survive, and to return, wiser, to the present world. [JC]
