Emily Carr's B.C.

Journalist Laurie Carter caught a tiger by the tail when she set out to retrace the epic journeys of Emily Carr, delving into the life, landscapes and First Nations traditions that shaped an icon. She too has trekked more than 20,000 kilometres, though in greater comfort and probably raising fewer eyebrows than the lone artist and her dog. In this journey Carter seeks to provide modern context while revealing Carr through her own words. Following up her Vancouver Island adventures, book two of Emily Carr’s B.C. explores Carr’s seminal travels to the Skeena and Naas Rivers of Northern B.C. and the islands of Haida Gwaii.
