Writing Away. The PEN Canada Travel Anthology. (Toronto) McClelland & Stewart, (1994). First edition.

One of fifty special copies signed by all the contributors. Specially bound and encased in a folding slipcase by Keith Felton. This special collector's edition was issued by PEN Canada to raise funds for their international activities in aid of writers world-wide who are persecuted and jailed by their own repressive Governments.

Each of the 50 copies has the special page signed by the contributors which includes many of Canada's greatest living authors.



Some of the contributors are:
Margaret Atwood, Pierre Berton, Leonard Cohen, June Callwood, Robertson Davies, George Elliot Clarke, Timothy Findley, Graeme Gibson, Alice Munro, Peter Gzowski, Michael Ondaatje, Jack Hodgins, Carol Shields, Alberto Manguel, P. K. Page, Rohinton Mistry, Susan Swan, Jane Urquhart.

The photo on the cover of the slipcase is by Michael Ondaatje. PEN Canada sold this special edition at $1000.00 and as far as we know the copy we offer here is the first to reach the open market. A very fine copy as issued.

Price $1250.00 Canadian.
