| Prince Edward Island Book of Everything |
| Martha Walls |
From the number of kilometers of coastline, to the stories
behind those unusual place names (hello Mermaid) and the
saga of the “Fixed Link,” to profiles of Lucy Maud and
Prince Edward himself, no book is more comprehensive than
the Prince Edward Island Book of Everything. No book is
more fun.
Well-known Islanders weigh in on their favourite things
about their home province - Senator Catherine Callbeck
shares the top five most important events in Island politics,
chef Andrew Morrison on his favourite Island dishes and
Anne Compton's five favourite Island words. Stories of the
First People, the worst weather, the almighty potato, the
truth behind that red dirt, Island slang, the most infamous
crimes . . . it's all here!
Whether you're a native Islander, a “come from away,” or
visiting for the first time, there simply is no more
comprehensive book about Canada's island province. If you
love Prince Edward Island, you'll love the Prince Edward
Island Book of Everything!
