The Canada Trip

$15.00 CAD

pp.346.We are back from three months on the highways of Canada, driving 24,863 kilometres, which is 15,539 miles to you old-timers.’ Clearly, after this beginning, The Canada Trip is not going to be a conventional travel guide. Nor is it a journalistic dissection of the mood of the land, because ‘the country has been analysed to death.’ Instead, Charles Gordon keeps what he calls Inner Journalist in check to give us a record of how a typical traveller sees the country, moseying along in the family car. This makes the book not so much a ‘Whither Canada?’ as a ‘Whither the washroom?’ book, and we are all grateful for it.
