Ontario's Backroads

This book was first published by Hurtig in 1984, and is the copy that I am reviewing. I'm sure much has had to be changed by Brown in order to make the book accessable, as much development has, unfortunately, occurred in Ontario over the past twenty years. The book consists of 24 excursions through Ontario's beautiful countryside. Ontario has numerous natural wonders, quaint small towns, and historical landmarks--all of which are within a few hours drive.For those unable to undertake the excursions, or who have no inclination to go polluting through them, will still enjoy this book immensely, as I have. Ron Brown is an excellent writer, and describes each excursion with clarity and the right balance of information and anecdote.
