This beautiful edition is in pristine condition—tight, square, and unmarked, with crisp, unread pages. The dust jacket is unmarked, and the book features black cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. Celebrating Canada’s rich history and identity, this book presents fifty carefully chosen objects—from Indigenous artifacts to modern symbols—each revealing stories of colonialism, immigration, nature, and national pride. With her signature lyrical prose, Jane Urquhart offers a compelling and personal lens on Canada’s past and present. Published as part of Canada’s 150th anniversary, it was widely praised for its imaginative approach to history.
