During those two years her first short stories were published and since then her work has appeared in "The .Canadian Forum", "The Tamarack Review", "The Montrealer" and "Chatelaine". Born and raised in the rural town of Wingham, later to become the scene of many of her short stories, Ms. Munro left home to attend Western, first in Journalism and later in English.
