Vancouver Public Library's "Great Canadian Books of the Century"

Add to my lists | Print this list

"This is the list of 133 Canadian books the Vancouver Public Library decided were the greatest of the 20th century. The number chosen, 133, was for the 133 years that has passed since Canada became a country (1867). It covers all aspects of writing not just fiction. It is a great list to work with if you are interested in all things Canadian. They are listed in alphabetical order by author. "
