A Pocketful of Canada

Here is no dry as dust anthology but a book reflecting all the vigour and diversity of the Canadian scene, a book designed to bring to the attention of the world the Canadian way of life. While difficult to define, the spirit of a nation is expressed in the life and thought of the nation's people. Here is Canada, interpreted not only through the prose and poetry of the country's greatest writers but through her historical documents, the writings of her pioneers, through her arts and crafts, through photographs of her people and her industries. It is a book that will make Canadians aware of their literary heritage and serve as an ideal gift to friends in other countries.
