'The Great One', or 'Canada's Chekhov', narrates the ordinary lives of men and women against the landscape of what came to be known as 'Munro's Country' – Huron County in Southern Ontario.
Twenty-eight stories about small-town life, written over thirty years include 'Carried Away', 'A Wilderness Station', 'Ottawa Valley', 'Royal Beatings', 'Dance of the Happy Shades', 'The Moons of Jupiter', 'The Beggar Maid', 'The Progress of Love', 'Postcard', 'Friend of My Youth', 'Vandals'.
Just like Munro herself, many characters leave only to return home.
