141 pages including bibliography and index. "The magnificent Bigwin Inn once stood as North America's largest and most luxurious summer resort. With an unprecedented collection of historical documents, vintage photographs and vivid colour plates, this book takes you back in time to the fabulous Gatsby-like era of the resort's heyday, a golden age when sleek mahogany launches plied sparkling lake waters, glittering masquerade balls were held in the Pavillion, chamber trios played to Hollywood stars in the Tea House, and royalty lounged beside crackling fires in the Rotunda. Discover the magical secrets of this summer place. Its unforgettable story is a colourful chapter in Canadian history and an important part of our Canadian heritage." - from dust jacket.

Sm. 8vo., First Edition, with an engraved portrait frontispiece after Eckstein, engraved and printed titles (the former by Heath) and a folding plate containing twenty-two humorous depictions of London's 'tavern clubs', frontispiece, engraved title and folding plate very lightly damp-marked; mid-nineteenth century half morocco, marbled boards, gilt back, marbled edges, marbled endpapers, covers a little age-marked, corners lightly bruised, very neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down and original endpapers preserved, a very good, tight copy of a very scarce work. The frontispiece portrays Christopher Brown, Secretary to the 'Free & Easy Counsellors under the Cauliflower' who were predominantly (and most appropriately) booksellers. The folding plate affords us such delights as 'The Belle Sauvage', 'The Tanner of Joppa' and 'George and the Dragon'. Even then, it seems, the tavern was a haven of tranquillity for the hard-pressed professional male. SCARCE. We can trace no other edition, though a popular work with the title 'Tavern Anecdotes and Sayings' was compiled for Charles Hindley and issued in several editions during the 70s and 80s.
