A funny and fascinating tour through Canada's history and landscape

Any which way but Moose ...

"An entertaining, insightful adventure. Like all good travel writing, it gives you very itchy feet." Metro

Will Ferguson has spent the past three years criss-crossing through Canada and back again. In a helicopter above the barren lands of the sub-arctic. In a canoe with his four-year-old son. On seaplanes and on the Underground Railroad, Ferguson's travels have taken him from Cape Spear on the coast of Newfoundland to the sun-dappled streets of Olde Victoria. Delving into Canada's history and landscape along the way, Ferguson's discoveries are fascinating and provocative. Funny, poignant and insightful, Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw is a personal tribute to a quirky and fascinating country.

"With a remarkable ability to examine the weird quirks and cultural absurdities of his motherland through the eyes of a bemused, excited and sometimes cynical tourist he brings humour and real life to his search." Observer

"Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw is an idiosyncratic travel guide to the highs and lows of Canadian culture, history and landscape." Big Issue

...an entertaining, insightful adventure. Like all good travel writing, it gives you very itchy feet.
