Last night\u2019s Toronto launch of our modern fables anthology The Lion and the Aardvark<\/em> exceeded expectations, thanks to a packed house of fable enthusiasts. Our supply of the book sold out at half-time. Writers Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer<\/a>, Ann Ewan<\/a>, Heather J. Wood<\/a>, Daniel Perry<\/a>, Jim Zub<\/a>, Richard Scarsbrook<\/a>, and Laura Lush hit the stage to read from their work. Special thanks to Kathryn for bravely persevering through a scratchy throat. Also, if you haven\u2019t heard Rich Scarsbrook impersonate a trout, you have not yet really attended a literary event. <\/p>\n

Jim received double accolades, as he is also our cover artist. Interior illustrator Rachel Kahn<\/a> was on hand to take a bow, as was author Julie McArthur<\/a>. Toronto-area authors who were unable to make it were toasted in spirit. <\/p>\n

After the reading we gathered onstage for an impromptu mass signing. Collectors showed gratifying appreciation for the book, and for the beautiful work of our production team.<\/p>\n
