DESCRIPTION:
Best book about Canada I always dreamed of going to Canada, especially to do a canoeing trip. But most of the canoeing books I found were too boring or just gave the routes, while the nature books didn't have the travel information. This book is awesome! I loved reading the descriptions and the vignettes, and the sketches are delightful. It provides the cultural and historical information that really brought the trip to life.I highly recommend it.
