Notes |
- Charles Taylor, who took the photograph of Chinese schoolchildren in June, 1964, when he was The Globe and Mail bureau chief in China, was the only son of noted Canadian industrialist and horse-breeder, Edward Plunket (E.P.) Taylor.
It was Charles Taylor, in fact, who took over the operation of his parents’ famed Windfields Farm after his father’s stroke in 1980. He wrote several books about his experiences as a foreign correspondent and was also a chairman of the Writers Union of Canada. The annual Canadian literary award now known as the RBC Taylor Prize was originally known as the Charles Taylor Prize, and was created by his widow, Noreen, and sister, Judith (Mappin), to honour his death-bed request for an award to encourage writers of Canadian non-fiction.
