Crime Writers of Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crime Writers of Canada is a national organization for Canadian crime writers.
Its annual awards are the Arthur Ellis Awards. The award statue itself is wooden model of a hanging man. The arms and legs move when the statue's string is pulled.
The award is named for Arthur B. English, a British man who became Canada's official hangman in 1913. He used the pseudonym Arthur Ellis. All of his successors also adopted the pseudonym Arthur Ellis in their professional duties.
