Lured by a missionary’s letter about trout and salmon, Warner and his friend Joseph Twichell set off for Baddeck on Cape Breton Island. These light sketches follow them by steamer and rail through Nova Scotia, recording odd fellow travellers, inns, landscapes and long starlit nights with the dry humour of Mark Twain’s collaborator on The Gilded Age.
A short, amiable travel book for anyone who likes their journeys slow and their narrators wry. Download the free EPUB.
