The Eatons : The Rise and Fall of Canada's Royal Family

A history of the family that controlled a department store chain that dominated in Canada for over a century. Begins with the founder Timothy in 1869, and traces the generations down to the shocking 1997 admission that the firm was insolvent, and the surviving heirs.
