Over the next three weeks, we’re turning the page on the most celebrated historical moments and highlighting the footnotes for a change. Take a trip down literary lane with us as we share books on aspects of Canadian history and notable people that don’t always get due attention.To help navigate our journey, we’ve created a timeline featuring 150 books that focus on Canadian historical moments and people for you to discover your next great read. What better way to celebrate Canada than by armchair travelling throughout its history?So come on this lit trip with us as we highlight a book every day this week that focuses on an aspect of Canada’s past. We’ll zip through the centuries, make our way into the aughts, and back into present day. And if you purchase any of the books we highlight, we’ll send you this free 2017 wall calendar!
