"The Ship of Dreams"

[Richard Plant]

Hello J Lewis:

You'll also find Hughes' play in Stanley Richards' "Canada on Stage" (pub
by Clarke Irwin in 1960) where there is a brief bio sketch as well. I have
not checked any of my records to this point. Hughes was also a writer of
prose fiction. You may find details on him in Can literature sources,
particularly those covering small magazines.
