This review is from: My Country : The Remarkable Past (Paperback)

This very Canadian book by a revered Canadian icon is a collection of little stories about unusual events that happened in Canada years ago. They come from fireside chats the author originally told on TV, and then wrote down as stories. When they became popular, he published them as this book.

They are all interesting stories about events I had never heard about before I read the book. An example is the race across Canada early in the last century, when five people decided to race on foot from east to west, just to see who would win. I very much enjoyed the stories and the pleasant way they are written.
