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." "This book should appeal to a wide variety of ages and interests.
