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
