Synopsis
From the epic journeys into the unknown by the first people who crossed the Berring land bridge thousands of years ago to Roberta Bondar?s landmark voyage into space, The Story of Canada is as vast in scope as the country itself.
In this new fully updated paperback edition, authors Janet Lunn and Christopher Moore tell the country?s story through rich narrative, recreations of daily life, folk tales, and fascinating facts.
Alan Daniel?s evocative original paintings, as well as several hundred historical photographs, maps, paintings, posters, and cartoons, make The Story of Canada as splendid to look at as it is fascinating to read.

The human face and figure as well as birds and animals are also frequent subjects. Alan’s work has been exhibited at the National Library of Canada; the Gallery/Stratford; York University, Toronto; Mable’s Fables, Toronto; Homer Watson Gallery; Kitchener Public Art Gallery; Kitchener Public Library; Aaron Gallery, Waterloo; Hunsberger Gallery, St. Jacobs; Staircase Gallery, New York City; KOR Gallery, Kitchener; Canada at Bologna exhibit; in Paris at an exhibit to celebrate Quebec City’s designation as a World Heritage Site.
