Alexander Graham Bell, Baddeck�s most illustrious resident, and one of the world�s greatest inventors, is also famous for the greatness of his compassion. It�s 1908, and ten-year-old Eddie MacDonald shares the friendly inventor�s passion for solving problems and for taking long walks in the fields above Bras d�Or Lake.
