Blurb: 
This book comprises selections from the works of Canadian short-story writers from Thomas Haliburton to Ray Smith. It covers a period of some 150 years and reveals clearly that during that time significant changes occurred in the short story in Canada in terms of both kinds and techniques. Generally speaking, however, these changes fit within a pattern of fairly clearly defined periods and modes of sensibility.
