This sublime large-format book jumpstarts my escapist heart and makes me long for wide water, pine needles, woodsmoke and gritty coffee. It features paintings, sketches, photographs, contemporary and historic essays, anecdotes, journal entries, book excerpts, interviews, and much more on the topic of canoe-tripping. It's the stuff a canoeist's dreams are made of. Stories from the Bow Seat contains written accounts and visual impressions of canoe trips of the past 400 years or so. Some accounts are beautifully worded wisdoms on the essence of canoe travel, others are grippingly descriptive, and still others are pure waggery. They are told by trippers from different eras and of varying ages, interests and levels of ability. In spite of the differing purposes, historical periods and approaches behind them, the selections taken together reflect the universal experiences of all who travel by canoe. So put down your paddle and stretch a while. Take a deep breath of smoke-scented calm, wrap your hands around a steaming mug, and get ready to add your own stories.

A bittersweet look at a less harried age and at the great properties that were eventually swallowed up by Canada's largest modern city. As the town grew, each new generation of affluent landholders built their gracious pastoral retreats just beyond its boundaries. Some became the focal points of today's metropolitan neighborhoods. Some are remembered only in street names. Includes Oak Hill, Dover Court, Rusholme, Hazelburn, Shelborne Villa, Spadina, Rosedale, Runnymede, Sunnyside, Knockaloe, and over 60 more.

The Estates of Old Toronto

An insider's guide to a nostalgic tour. 
 Illustrated with scores of exceptional historic and contemporary photographs, this book describes 40 noteworthy century-old summer cottages and estates. 
 Muskoka has long been Ontario's most glamorous lake district, the holiday retreat of choice for generations of successful Americans and Canadians. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, industrial moguls from Pittsburgh such as the Mellons, Clemsons, Hillmans, Millers and Donners built or bought cottages here. Their neighbors were famous politicians, scientists, and bankers. 
 Today, these cottages are cherished not just because of their age and architecture, but because they are rich with stories about their builders, owners, visitors, summer gatherings, excursions, and vintage boats. 
 Muskoka's cottages and estates are repositories of family history, steeped in tradition and proud reminders of summers well spent.
