Publisher's Synopsis
This small collection of stories that were published between 1938 and 1980 includes a remarkable narrative range, from the closely observed realism of "Rough Answer," Sheila Watson's first story, through four stories which represent members of the family of Sophocles' Oedipus as contemporary and naturalized, to the ritualized mystery of "And the Four Animals." A Father's Kingdom is an original New Canadian Library collection.
