An overall presentable first edition of Canadian author Hugh Hood's 1928-2000 first book signed by the author. ABOUT THIS BOOK: It all started towards the end of the 1930s when the young Hugh Hood serviced a flourishing Saturday Evening Post route with more than fifty weekly customers. That was where the author-to-be first encountered the short story in the formula fiction of the famous magazine writers Damon Runyon Guy Gilpatric Arthur Train and of course the Master P.G. Wodehouse. By the '40s Hood had discovered Pocketbooks and in particular My Life and Hard Times included in The Thurber Carnival which led first to a story called `Recollections of the Works Department' and later to some of the methods employed in his opus The New Age / Le nouveau siècle. For a writer who once professed `If in the course of my life I can get a half a dozen stories printed I'll be satisfied' Flying a Red Kite marked a different kind of beginning. The first selection of ten stories was completed in March of 1962 by John Colombo and Robert Weaver for publication by the Ryerson Press. Both editors felt at the time that an additional story was required to round out the sequence to a cohesive volume. Hood wrote `The End of It' and that is how we have it here -- the eleven stories of Hood's first book-length publication.Publisher. The Ryerson Press hardcover books
