Description
Canada From Afar is the fruit of the remarkable flowering of obituary writing within the London Day-to-day Telegraph all over the past ten years. These energetic portraits of Canadians are informed, witty, occasionally quirky, sometimes iconoclastic.They come with royal courtiers, politicians, businessmen, infantrymen, sailors, airmen, scientists, explorers, novelists, artists, or even journalists. Some of the prominent Canadians viewed from afar are persons such as Margaret Laurence, Joey Smallwood, K.C. Irving, Raymond Burr and A.J. Casson.
