The False Traitor
The nineteenth-century Métis politician and mystic Louis Riel has emerged as one of the most popular - and elusive - figures in Canadian culture. Since his hanging for treason in 1885, the self-declared David of the New World has been depicted variously as a traitor to Confederation; a French-Canadian and Catholic martyr; a bloodthirsty rebel; a pan-American liberator; a pawn of shadowy white forces; a Prairie political maverick; a First Nations hero; an alienated intellectual; a victim of Western industrial progress; and even a Father of Confederation.

A Million Miles from Broadway Revised and Expanded Edition
"Musical theatre is --and always has been-- an international form, not just an American one. It can take root anywhere. Few people would realise that such hit standards as "The Glow Worm", "Brazil", "Mack the Knife", "I Will Wait for You" and "El Condor Pasa" came from foreign language musicals. A Million Miles from Broadway --Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London looks at the history (and future) of work that exists outside of the two traditional centres. Met Atkey has lectured internationally on musical theatre. He is also a composer and lyricist himself. When his musical A Little Princess (written with the late Robert Sickinger) opened, the New York Times praised its "lovely music". His earlier book Broadway North: the Dream of a Canadian Musical Theatre has become the basis for courses taught in Canadian Universities, including Sheridan College, where the international hit musical Come from Away was born. Austrailian TV producer and musical writer Peter Pinne called it "well documented", full of facts, and a compelling read for any musical theatre buff." "--
