Do any of our list participants here feel strongly about what text(s) would be ideal to start with for PG Canada?
I can't think off hand of a particular title, but perhaps the following paramaters should be used:
- by a Canadian author who died between 1950 and 1954, inclusive;
- published after 1923.
IMHO, one of Canada's formost stylists was the almost-forgotten Globe and Mail writer, J. V. McAree. His book, 'Cabbagetown Store', (Ryerson Press, 1953), and about his childhood, is brilliant, as are his columns. He did write other stuff, too. He died in 1956; which would be as current as we could wish (in a few months). Michael (Vasa) Lockey
