Recommended"
-- CM Magazine"Editors Julie E. Czerneda and Genevieve Kierans
have summoned over a dozen Canadian writers to supply stories
inspired by "the lyrics and legends of Canada." What results is a
stimulating journey through northern realms of the imagination. . .
Latest in a welcome resurgence of Canadian fantastical literature,
this volume is one to keep close by on cold nights when the Wendigo
stalks."
-- Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine"With the relative dearth of
Canadian fantasy for younger readers, this anthology of 16 short
stories is a welcome contribution. . . . Even better, each of the
stories is associated with a Canadian legend, song, or local story.
. . And although there's some unevenness in the writing and
conception of the stories, there's plenty here to entertain and
tickle the brain and heart."
