Canadian heroes and the odd villain continue to come to life in the History Television series Canadians: Biographies of a Nation, hosted by the enormously talented Patrick Watson. Now all three volumes of the companion book to the series are collected together for the first time in one beautiful omnibus edition. These biographies help us understand our own history while at the same time telling immediate and compelling personal stories. The commonplace which holds that Canadians are both dull and uninterested in their own stories is no longer true, if indeed it ever was.
