DeleteWhat a wonderful book full of quirky Canadian literary history. I've just discovered the gothic fiction of W.E.D Ross who wrote under several pseudonyms and acccording to some is the most prolific Canadian writer - 300 novels! One big wish - that your book had an index!!
ReplyDeleteI've long been interested in W.E.D. Ross, but where to begin! Well, you've now encouraged me to take the plunge.

Many thanks for the kind words.
