Alice Munro Honored with Canadian Stamp


Shelf Awareness

Canada Post has honored Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro with a new stamp, which was released last week in celebration of her 84th birthday, Quillblog reported. The stamp features a photograph of the author, a sample of her handwriting and images of Wingham, Ontario, her hometown.

"Our stamp program recognizes the achievements of Canadians," said Canada Post president and CEO Deepak Chopra. "As fans of this prolific author know, Ms. Munro's literary talent, wisdom, and humanity reflected in her stories over several decades have earned her recognition that few writers in any language or country attain."
