Books for Folk Festival Season

It's that time of year again, folk festival season, when music lovers gather on hillsides to hear the strains of their favourite folk tunes, which are usually incredible stories set to beautiful song. This post was originally supposed to be a list of novels that made Canadian folk festivals as their setting. Kind of obscure, right? Right. Which is why the excellent works of fiction that anchor this list are joined by biographical and autobiographical works about Canadian folk stars and legends, fact and fiction blended in the truest folkish form.
