Requiem for the Last Indian
Many North Americans have little understanding or knowledge of the deep history of the conflicts involving First Nations and other Canadians. Taking place in the lands of the Cree Indians and the original 17th century settlers with the Hudson's Bay Company, 'Requiem' traces family history and the land's metamorphosis from a simple, nature-centered life to a complex world of trade, politics and intrigue. Penned by Canadian novelist, publisher and editor, Ashis Gupta, 'Requiem for the Last Indian' offers a deeper understanding of the roots of conflicts between First Nations and other Canadians. A bittersweet tale of love, wisdom and redemption, the novel is set largely in the frozen, inhospitable land of the Cree Indians bordering the James and Hudson Bays in northern Canada at the end of the 20th century, 'Requiem' tells the ill-fated love story of Charlie, son of a London mapmaker, and Rosie, a Cree school teacher. When 'Requiem' opens, the police are interviewing Charlie about the murder of three men following the brutal death of his Cree lover, who met the same fate of many of her real life Aboriginal sisters.

The Enormous Hill
William and Bill climb to the top of an enormous hill. Little do they realise, the hill is actually a sleeping giant, and the summit is the end of the giant's nose. It seems like a great place to eat their sandwiches, but when the giant wakes up, the kids are in for the biggest adventure of their lives. Where is the giant going? Can they figure out how to get down? Will they panic? Or will there be wonders? The creators of The Enormous Hill are two of the founders of the world-renowned Old Trout Puppet Workshop, Judd Palmer and Pityu Kenderes. When live theatre was shut down by the Pandemic, they made the book to help Judd's young son Max come to terms with the upheaval all around him. Partly a parable about finding joy even when your life seems to be out of your control, and partly a story about how friendships get us through, above all The Enormous Hill is a tale that makes the world feel more magical. After all, who knows what giant you're sitting on right now? Who knows when it might wake up?
