Something swifty this way comes.
Outside your window, what blocks the sun?
It glitters and sprinkles; it glistens and slides.
It's winter upon us; look! snow piled up high!

Here are our Staff Picks.

Lynn Henry (Publisher, House of Anansi Press)
"I love all Anansi books equally, so it's difficult to have a "pick." But I can second the opinion of others - in this case, books that have recently been nominated for, or won, awards: Gil Adamson's superb novel The Outlander (winner of the coveted Drummer General's Award) and our two Governor General's Literary Award titles: Augustino and The Choir of Destruction by Marie-Claire Blais and Yesno by Dennis Lee.
