Mail correspondence is a dying art, but there are still some who practise this special, genuine, and kind gesture-one of whom is Helen Calverley. Over the years, after reading a good book or watching a moving performance, Helen wrote to the author or entertainer to express her admiration and appreciation for their work. The Book of Letters is a collection of those personal letters-all enthusiastic, thoughtful, and charming.Through her letters, Helen has curated a list of prominent Canadian literature. Along with providing book reviews, the letters offer endearing insights into some well-known Canadian authors, such as Carol Shields and Sandra Birdsell. Some other authors and entertainers featured in the book include Martha Brooks, Jake MacDonald, Francois Picard, Wanda Ryder, Margaret Atwood, Jann Arden and Rick Mercer, as well as Anita Shreve, Hillary Clinton, and Martha Stewart. Often, the authors replied with thanks and delight.Helen now shares her personal collection of letters with the public, hoping that readers will enjoy them.
