Editorial Reviews

“Attractively produced in four volumes. . . . The project is nothing if not ambitious.”  —www.booksincanada.com

“A pleasing anthology for the general reader [and] an important publication. Having most of Callaghan’s early short works in one place is, for general readers, a very good thing.”  —Canadian Literature journal
