1936 Governor General's Awards
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The 1936 Governor General's Awards for Literary Merit inaugurated Canada's annual program of Governor General's Awards, late in 1937 recognizing 1936 publications.[1] There were only two categories, fiction and non-fiction, English language only.[1][2]
The awards were presented by Lord Tweedsmuir, then Governor General of Canada—and, as John Buchan, the noted author of The Thirty-Nine Steps[1] (1915, adapted as a 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock).
