In Canada, these books were published by Knopf, so they might also be under a different publisher in the USA.
Thank you for this! I was aware of a few individual titles on this list, but had no idea of the underlying project. Coincidentally, Bookpossum has pointed me to Where Three Roads Meet (I’m sure she knew of the series) so I’m looking forward to that.
