In this first biography of Franz Johnston, the author describes the life, work, and times of this unjustly neglected but influential figure in Canadian art and culture.
Roger Burford Mason moved with his wife and son from England to Toronto in 1988. Since then he has published two collections of short stories, a collection of travel essays, two biographies, and a book about Canada. He has written for many Canadian, U.S., and British magazines and newspapers, and has broadcast on a number of Canadian radio stations. He is the editorial director of a group of business publications, and a contributing editor of Canadian Notes & Queries. Among his previously published books are: Telling the Bees (Hounslow, 1990); The Beaver Picture (Hounslow, 1992); Travels in the Shining Island: The Life of the Rev. James Evans (Natural History/Natural Heritage, 1996); Roy Vernon Sowers: A Life in Rare Books
