This review is from: Moon Atlantic Canada: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)

"Moon Handbooks: Atlantic Canada" is a excellent planning and touring resource for the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. This guide follows the familar Moon Handbook format, featuring color and black & white maps and photographs wrapped around an informative travel narrative especially well-suited for automobile touring.

Atlantic Canada offers miles of rugged coastline, sprinkled with towns and villages that are often quite old, dated back to the European settlement of North America and especially to the wars of France and England over their American colonies. Among the highlights for this reviewer: The 18th century fortress of Louisberg and the rugged Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia; the beautiful golf courses and the gentle mania associated with the children's story "Anne of Green Gables" on Prince Edward Island; the old New Brunswick city of Saint John, and the unspoiled hinterland behind it; and the rugged coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, there to greet visitors to the New World from the Vikings to the present.

"Moon Handbooks: Atlantic Canada" is very highly recommended to those travelers planning a trip to the region, a beautiful and often overlooked portion of Canada.
