GREAT CANADIAN WRITING, is an anthology of Canadian writing in English during the first century of our existence as a nation. This is a wonderful nostalgic look back just before Canada's Centennial Year, through dozens of short stories by some of Canada's best writers, and numerous vivid period-piece photographs. Truly a delightful book.
