Summary

Tales for an Unknown City is a vibrant selection of almost fifty stories from among the many told at One Thousand and One Friday Nights of Storytelling, a weekly open gathering in Toronto begun by Dan Yashinsky in 1978 and still going strong. There are tales from Canada and many other parts of the world, each followed by a brief word from the teller, giving us the flavour of the “Friday Nights.”

Reviews

“The stories ... represent the imaginations of the diverse people who call Canada home and are a mix of true stories, new stories, fairy tales, translations and adaptations of published stories.” — Peggy Hill, Globe and Mail

“These are offbeat, often quirky folktales spun in the heart of bustling Toronto, although they draw their exotic themes from around the world.” — Rod Currie, Canadian Press
