From the rear cover
David Helwig's recollection of Tiff Findley dealing with a wayward shaggy dog on stage in the Straw Hat Players (Peterborough) production of the `King of Hearts' is probably worth the price of admission ..., though the story about Zal Yanofsky of the Lovin' Spoonful auditing a course in introductory Russian at Queen's is interesting too, and then there's a bunch of other anecdotes that involve characters (A to Z) such as Margaret Atwood, Don Bailey, Clark Blaise, George Bowering, Bonnie Burnard, Jackie Burroughs, Adrienne Clarkson, Matt Cohen, Robertson Davies, Timothy Findley, Barbara Frum, John Glassco, Peter Gzowski, Marion Hebb, Dennis Lee, Gwendolyn MacEwen, Michael Macklem, John Metcalf, Alden Nowlan, Michael Ondaatje, Al Purdy, Mordecai Richler, Leon Rooke, Ray Souster, Bronwen Wallace, George Whalley and Dale Zieroth.
