Ian Wilson has been writing and publishing books since 1997. If you enjoy The Secret of the Old Swing Bridge, then the narrative style of his railway books will be familiar.

If you have not read any of these fascinating stories, you may wish to start with either of the Allandale volumes, Steam in Northern Ontario or Steam Memories of Lindsay. These four cover the Muskoka-area territory in which The Secret of the Old Swing Bridge is set (and more).

Conversely, if you have been a fan of his series on the twilight of the steam era on the Canadian National Railways (CNR) in Ontario, you will be further entranced by Ian’s first novel. We dare anyone, young or old, to pick up a copy of The Secret of the Old Swing Bridge and not read it!
