Forgotten Warrior The Life of Sir Arthur Currie by Robert Linnell

Sir Arthur Currie’s funeral on December 4, 1933, found 250,000 people standing in the cold, wet streets of Montreal, far from his birthplace of Ladysmith, Brit- ish Columbia. They were waiting to say farewell to a military commander who, while not particularly dashing or charismatic, had brought Canada’s armed forces through some of their hardest wartime trials, and who had ended his life as the Principal of McGill University. Despite the attempted smears against his reputa- tion and war record, those who served under him felt that he was a commander who listened to good advice, who could lead from the front, and who was frugal with his men’s lives.

Who was this tall, unassuming man, who rose to command the entire Canadian Corps by war’s end? His lack of formal training upset the career officers that made up the senior military establishment. According to his political enemies, he was unfit for command, and played fast and loose with regimental funds early in his career. Yet more Canadians would come to pay their last respects to him than to ISBN 978-1-77086-535-8 Sir John A. Macdonald or Wilfrid Laurier.

Newly discovered dispatches reveal the thoughts of German command- ers, who regarded Currie and the Canadian forces under his command as among Publication Date: November 2018 their most dreaded adversaries.

The Band of Merry Kids a middle-grade novel by David Skuy

Twelve-year old Pip idolizes Robin Hood, and dreams of becoming one of the Merry Men. But to everyone else, Pip is the son of Aldwin of Notting- hamshire — a seller of wool blankets.

Already frustrated at the injustices he sees around him at the hands of a local baron, Pip realizes just how much the people of England are suffering under King John when his father takes Pip and his two cousins to the country fair to sell blankets. Pip and his band of Merry Kids decide to follow Robin Hood’s example — to battle corruption and help the poor. But unforeseen challenges arise, and Pip and his friends face their biggest challenge in trying to save an innocent family from the depths of the sheriff’s dungeon. Along the way, they encounter the real Robin Hood, but when Pip learns that his father is much more than a coward and a blanket salesman, he starts to realize what it takes to truly be a hero.

Deep Girls young adult short stories by Lori Weber Deep Girls tells the stories that sweep aside the YA clichés of fictional life, love, and family roles, giving us stories of girls whose homes and lives mirror the world that young readers see around them.

The adversaries the girls in this collection face are sometimes family, other times their own insecurities: a girl must stand up against expectations put on her by her parents and her boyfriend; a sibling’s assault on a parent drives a young woman to dark thoughts; and a young woman sees cruelty and emo- tional dependency within her mother’s dysfunctional family.

Sometimes we witness the search for strength: a girl and her father struggle with their relationship after a tragedy; a family friend returns changed forever from a mental hospital; and a mother shows her daughter the heart that lies beneath a passive exterior.

Nanaimo Girl a memoir by Prudence Emery For a girl born in Nanaimo in the 1930s, Prudence Emery has had quite the life. But it’s not just the events of her life that make her memoir so read- able — it’s the deft touch, the light tone, of a woman who sees humour in almost everything. In fact, “Isn’t it funny” has been her mantra throughout all her adventures. Her early years in Nanaimo and then at boarding school in Vancouver, where she was taught all the necessities to become a debutante and wife, did nothing to dampen her rebellious spirit.

Best known for her years as a film publicist — working with, to name but a few, David Cronenberg, Garth Drabinsky, Jodie Foster, Nastassia Kins- ki, Beau Bridges, Rob Lowe, Peter O’Toole, Donald Sutherland, Raymond Burr, and Ellen Burstyn — she was previously a press secretary for the Savoy Hotel in London in the 1960s. While at the Savoy, she saw the greats of earlier years, such as Noël Coward, and the bright young stars of the day, including Petula Clark.

“Daniel Goodwin’s The Art of Being Lewis is a smart, funny and warm- hearted novel in the spirit and lineage of .” — David Bezmozgis, author of The Betrayers and Natasha and Other Stories

“Daniel Goodwin’s poetry and novels are always filled with deep insights into the confused state of modern masculinity. The Art of Being Lewis is his best work so far: a sad, hilarious, philosophical novel that blends fine writing and forward momentum. You will think about Lewis, his hu- miliations and regular triumphs, before falling asleep at night (if you can stop to turn out the light).” — Todd Babiak, author of Come Barbarians

Pretty much half-way into his life, Lewis Morton discovers that the man he has presented to the world for thirty years is not necessarily the man he actu- ally is, or ought to be.

“Laure Baudot’s prose is exquisite, patient, and sophisticated.” — Sarah Selecky, author of the Scotiabank -nominated This Cake is for the Party

Once There Were Giants The Modern Montreal Poets Who Set Out to Build a National Literature by David O’Rourke

When Patrick Anderson, P.K. Page, F.R. Scott, and others set up Preview Magazine, they were doing more than creating a vehicle to publish their high modernist poetry, which they were having difficulties publishing elsewhere. They were taking the first steps towards consciously building a Canadian lit- erature. When John Sutherland established First Statement, he was taking the next step: publishing Louis Dudek and Irving Layton, poets from Montreal’s working class. Between establishment of the first magazine and the decline of the second, many of Canada’s greatest poets found early homes for their poems and laid down the foundation for our literary culture.

In a series of interviews conducted in the 1980s with F.R. Scott, P.K.

The book builds on known facts to imagine Booth’s private life. Poems speak in the voices of Booth himself, his wife, children, business associates, visiting royalty, regulars at the tony Rideau Club, and tavern wags. With drama, humour and feeling, they evoke the yearnings of a man with something to prove, the scent of virgin pine forest, the stench of a lumber shanty, the pounding of a lumber mill, the muddy streets of early Ottawa, and the terror of massive, recurring fires. The poems range from dramatic monologues and dialogues to intimate lyrics, united by a sense of time and place and the personality of Booth himself.

It is a book that releases the reader from the strictures of any specific diet, and addresses nutrition and metabolism. It explains in basic terms how the body uses food as fuel, how the brain reacts to certain kinds of foods and patterns of eating, and not only the how but the why of weight gain and weight loss.

In Heat Wave, the first book in the Paradise Café series, Charlotte meets Jack Murdoch, when she arrives at her employer’s home, called there because there has been a break-in, and his wife has been attacked. Her employer, T. Gilmore, is distraught because the police seem to suspect him. He says he left the house in the morning for the office. Charlotte would like to provide him with an alibi but there are strange discrepancies in his account. That morning he received a vile anti-semitic letter but he asks Charlotte not to mention it. As far as the public knows, Gilmore is not a Jew. He left the office immediately after receiving this letter.

In the meantime, Charlotte takes on a new client. Hilliard Taylor, who is one of four men, all former POWs who are partners in The Paradise Cafe. Although they deliberately keep their prices low for the sake of the unemployed, desperate men and women of the area, they are still managing to stay afloat financially. However, Hilliard Photo credit: Scarlet Page has discovered what appears to be a systemic robbing of the till. Charlotte agrees to come to the cafe, undercover, and see what she can find.

Fall 2018 catalogue redesign9.indd 27 4/27/2018 10:33:42 AM We acknowledge this sacred land on which Cormorant Books operates. It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.

We are also mindful of broken covenants and the need to strive to make right with all our relations.

The publisher gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council for its publishing program. We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund (CBF) for our publishing activities, and the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Media Development Corporation, an agency of the Ontario Ministry of Culture, and the Ontario Book Publishing Tax Credit Program.
