In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, is the Canadian province known as Prince Edward Island. I have met several people from there and caught their enthusiasm about this small part of Canada.
I have yet to travel there but continue to read about it. This book has a nice preface by one of the photographers, Wayne Barrett, that leads me to believe that things such as farming, fishing and shell-fishing change more slowly here than in other parts of Canada and the USA.
The book though thin, is in "coffee table format" with each photograph being given a separate large page. The photographs take in a wide swath of culture and commerce as well as displaying P.E.I.'s natural beauty. If I read the publication data correctly the photographs were taken between 1951-1980.
Several generations have passed and it makes me want to get there soon to see what has changed and what has stayed the same.
