Mad about the Bay: Photographs of Georgian Bay By William Harris

Mad About the Bay is an original, arresting collaboration between photographer William Harris computer-generated interpretations of iconic Canadian landscapes, and the rollicking world of cottages, canoes and stormy weather represented by the husband and wife writing team of Elizabeth MacCallum and John Fraser. There is a whimsy here, but also a shared reverence for the eternal Georgian Bay of granite, pine and water. Harris digital paintings celebrate a new Romanticism, while the prose sketches of MacCallum and Fraser reveal a fierce intergenerational drive to protect a beloved, crucial part of the world.Georgian Bay has inspired writers and artists like no other place in Canada. Site of some of the most haunting scenery captured by Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, it continues to seduce those who experience its storied and magical shores. "Discussion of sailing and family memories give the book personality, the authors adding to the photos and bringing them even more vividly to life. Mad About the Bay is a Canadian classic, giving the reader so much to savor, adding even more intrigue to this much sought after Ontario destination." - Shelf Life
