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).
