<br/><br/>"This anthology celebrates and explores the particular qualities of the writing of a nation. The stories evoke what is distinctive about Canadians and their relationship to their country; their attitude towards its vastness; their valuing of individuality; historical and current problems of identity; attitudes towards the nation's cultural mix; the country's increasing urbanisation; growing interest in women's right and attitudes towards the country's future. The stories are illustrated by Canadian artists and are each given a short introduction. A general introduction and glossary are appended to guide students through the anthology."
