Une visite guidée montrant comment l'Histoire peut transformer une maison ordinaire en un chez-soi unique, ainsi qu'un rappel de la force de caractère et de l'ingéniosité qui ont façonné notre pays.
Inspiré par le 150e anniversaire de la Confédération canadienne, célébré la même année que le 375e anniversaire de la fondation de Montréal, l'auteur et antiquaire québécois Peter E. Baker donne vie à l'histoire canadienne pour démontrer comment antiquités et art populaire peuvent conférer une identité unique à un intérieur moderne.
L'auteur a puisé dans une seule collection pour présenter des objets couvrant trois siècles d'histoire canadienne, depuis l'établissement des premières colonies françaises jusqu'à l'essor créatif des artistes populaires de la fin du XXe siècle. Amplement illustré, rédigé sur le ton de la conversation et facile à lire, le présent ouvrage ne se veut pas une étude technique sur les antiquités d'une région ou d'un type précis. Le Canada chez soi - L'Histoire en guise de décor explique plutôt l'histoire et la valeur artistique de chaque objet choisi.
