A literary exploration of Gabrielle Roy and his first novel The Tin Flute. Canadian Fiction Studies are an answer to every librarian's, student's, and teacher's wishes. Each book contains clear information on a major Canadian novel. These studies are carefully designed readings of the novels; they are not substitutes for reading them. Each book is attractively produced and includes a chronology of the author's life, information on the importance of the book and its critical reception, an analysis of the text, and a selected list of works cited.
