Tales for an Unknown City is a vibrant selection of almost fifty stories from among the many told at One Thousand and One Friday Nights of Storytelling, a weekly open gathering in Toronto begun by Dan Yashinsky in 1978 and still going strong. There are tales from Canada and many other parts of the world, each followed by a brief word from the teller, giving us the flavour of the “Friday Nights.”

Critic Reviews

“The stories ... represent the imaginations of the diverse people who call Canada home and are a mix of true stories, new stories, fairy tales, translations and adaptations of published stories.” — Peggy Hill, Globe and Mail

“These are offbeat, often quirky folktales spun in the heart of bustling Toronto, although they draw their exotic themes from around the world.” — Rod Currie, Canadian Press
