For over three-quarters of a century, the Governor General's
Literary Awards have been awarded annually in a variety of evolving
categories. Fifteen Governors General have served as their patron.
The impressive list continues to grow apace: between 1936 and 2018,
the awards recognized 719 books in English and French and have been
presented to 580 authors, illustrators, and translators. This
beautifully illustrated bilingual compendium presents the
biographies of all 580 award laureates, many accompanied by
stunning archival portraits. This is the final instalment in Andrew
Irvine's remarkable and comprehensive research into what has become
a touchstone of Canada's literary culture. Together with Canada's
Best and The Governor General's Literary Awards of Canada: A
Bibliography, this work provides readers with a definitive overview
of this literary prize. By itself, Canada's Storytellers is an
invaluable reading companion for anyone wanting to be introduced to
many of our most influential authors, illustrators, and translators
working in both French and English over the past decades. It
belongs on the shelf of every enthusiast of Canadian literature.
