Magazine to mark Home Children experience with new book.
A special edition anthology book about British Home Children will be published later this year by Canadian Stories magazine to commemorate 2010 as the Year of the British Home Child. The anthology, in conjunction with a memory quilt and Canada Post honorary stamp, will pay tribute to the 100,000 children sent to Canada from Britain from 1869-1948.
Canadian Stories is a literary folk magazine written by or about Canadians. It features writing about family stories, personal experiences, and memories from the past. It includes excerpts from memoirs, as well as stories, and essays speculating about the future. Some of the topics that have been featured include: pioneer days, life during the Great Depression and the World Wars, the joys of moving, country life, vacation experiences, encounters with animals, and the significance of Remembrance Day.
Ed Janzen, publisher of Canadian Stories magazine, is currently gathering stories from all over North America that will be compiled into an anthology book later this summer. As of April 1, Janzen had received over twenty-five submissions, and many more are being collected. The anthology will hopefully be a two-hundred-page collection, and it will be available later this year.
