From Anne of Green Gables to Ashley MacIsaac, from the Cape Breton Highlands to the Bay of Fundy, the Maritimes offer a rich variety of culture and history. This book celebrates these eastern Canadian provinces and their people. With a perceptive eye and generous wit, Julie Watson revels in the region's diversity of customs and traditions, its creative arts and cuisine, its lingoes and lifestyles. The book is equally suited for Maritimers at home or abroad, and for armchair travelers curious about this unusual destination.
