Résumé

Join beloved storyteller Anny Scoones as she sets out to discover the quaint and quirky charms of Victoria, BC. Not just a book of facts, Hometown is a gentle stroll through a diverse region with a fascinating and layered history. Observe, pause, ponder, and have what Anny likes to call "a little think" on the various characteristics and personalities of these areas. Consider not only how public art, beach creatures, monuments, heritage and historical features create a neighbourhood and contribute to a larger city, but also how they make us feel, how they move us.
Illustrated with 120 original watercolours by acclaimed artist Robert Amos, and featuring unique poems by Victoria's poet laureate, Janet Rogers, Hometown: Out and About in Victoria's Neighbourhoods presents Canada's most livable city as the locals see it.
Anny Scoones is the author of True Home: Life on a Heritage Farm and Home and Away: More Tales of a Heritage Farm, which detail her years living on historic Glamorgan Farm in North Saanich, British Columbia. Raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Anny has a B. Ed. from the University of Victoria as well as a diploma of humanities. She has served as an elected councillor for the District of North Saanich and now teaches English in Victoria.
Anny lives in the neighbourhood of James Bay, in Victoria, British Columbia. Robert Amos has painted thousands of pictures of the urban landscape and specializes in commissioned paintings of homes and gardens. He writes a weekly column, "On Art, " published in the Times Colonist, and is the author (and illustrator) of seven books about Victoria, including Artists in their Studios: Where Art is Born and Inside Chinatown: Ancient Culture in a New World.
Robert has recently been the artist in residence at the Fairmont Empress Hotel and is an Honorary Citizen of Victoria. He was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1995. Robert lives in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. Please visit Robert's website at robertamos.com.
