Heraldry is now. Heraldry is fun. And most of all, heraldry is Canadian! A Canadian Heraldic Primerdispels, once and for all, the myth that coats of arms are boring, snobbish, mediaeval holdovers that have no relevance today.Using cartoons, humour, and not a little irreverence (in which is concealed a surprising amount of information), Kevin Greaves explains the history behind heraldry's unique conventions and language, and explores its creative possibilities. He shows heraldry as part of the fabric of Canada's past, present, and future, and illustrates how this lively art has become livelier since Canada became master of its own heraldic system in 1988.Greaves, Kevin is the author of 'Canadian Heraldic Primera' with ISBN 9780969306344 and ISBN 0969306342.
