Description

Book Synopsis
An exploration of the personal, social, and cultural meanings of the iconic Canadian cottage.

Trade Review
“Cottaging” in Ontario is a much-discussed phenomenon, and Harrison has set out to shed light on why people are so passionate about this form of domestic tourism. There is surprisingly little written on this, and her excellent book is both compelling and novel. -- Marion Joppe, co-author of Challenges and Opportunities of Incentive Travel
