For two decades, The Feathertale Review has entertained readers with a unique blend of literary humour, presented in one of the most beautifully designed magazines the Canadian market has ever seen. Since its inception in 2006, Feathertale has won 10 National Magazine Awards, launched the careers of countless creators and featured the work of more than 800 writers, poets and artists. Among the better-known names to appear in its pages: Robert Munsch, Margaret Atwood, Graham Roumieu, Chip Zdarsky, David Rakoff, Pasha Malla, Douglas Coupland, Lynn Coady, Stuart McLean and more. From its first issue, every copy of Feathertale has punched readers with a mix of stories, poems, interviews and comics, all packaged in a literary product that feels like a timeless piece of art and pushes the reader’s expectations of what a magazine is or can be. Past issues have taken the form of a literary cookbook, a sketch comedy album, a choose-your-own-adventure novel, a collection of postcards and even a fictional facsimile of the very first publication to call itself a magazine, back in 1731. Now, with Stories of People Who Do Not Exist and of Things that Never Occurred, the award-winning editorial team behind the magazine with a blue monkey on its cover has come together to produce a book worthy its history, offering readers the best of its archive alongside a collection of wildly entertaining, never-before-seen stories, all guaranteed to stimulate and lull, at the same time.
