Why should kids have all the fun?

This is a terrific series of fables written by famous contemporary Canadian authors. Like children's fables, they are mostly a vehicle for the authors to moralize... in this case about the state of the country. Quebec separatists, the Tory Ontario government, and the general trend towards government cutbacks all provide fodder for stories by the likes of Margaret Atwood, Rohinton Mistry, Timothy Findley, Neil Bissoondath, Jane Urquhart and Yves Beauchemin. If you like satire, you'll love this.
