July news from PG Canada

Here's the news from PG Canada for July.

We published a total of 14 ebooks during the month: we have now 
published a cumulative total of 152 ebooks.

The New Releases section at the top of the PGC main page always 
gives the details of new releases for the most recent three 
months.

LANGUAGES:
- 8 titles were in English,
- 6 were in French,

GENRES
- 5 of the books were novels, including a French translation by 
Pamphile Le May of William Kirby's "The Golden Dog"
- 1 was a book of short stories
- 5 were poetry, including a French translation by Pamphile Le 
May of Longfellow's "Evangeline"
- 1 was a book of drawings
- 2 of the books were non-fiction

Ten of the books were by Canadians, or had a significant link to 
Canada.

The month was notable for the addition of six books by Pamphile 
Le May
(1837-1918): four original works, and two translations.

We published two new titles in progress in our series of novels 
by English novelist Sheila Kaye-Smith (1887-1956).

We were very proud of this year's choice for Canada Day (July 
1st).  It was a 1926 edition of "Le Chien d'Or", a translation of 
"The Golden Dog".  The author, William Kirby (1817-1906), and the 
translator, Pamphile Le May (1837-1918), are both celebrated 
names in Canadian literature, while the annotator, Benjamin Sulte 
(1841-1923) is a famous Canadian historian.
