The collection is beautifully presented and is thoughtfully organised into three distinct sections. Besides its literary and cultural value, it is a book to dip in and out of, and read at leisure. The writing is excellent and since the purchase price is very reasonable for a book of such quality, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. -- Philippa Lewis, Uni of Birmingham British Journal Of Canadian Studies 2009
