About the Author
Andrew Hempstead is a travel writer and photographer who has trav-
eled widely throughout Canada from his home in Banff, Alberta. His
research trip for the third edition of this book took him to every corner
of the Maritimes, and along the way he found himself searching for fos-
sils along the Bay of Fundy, wine-tasting in Nova Scotia, and golfing the
fairways of Prince Edward Island.
In addition to this book, Hempstead has authored guidebooks to
Alberta, British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies, and Vancouver, and has
co-authored guidebooks to Atlantic Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
His writing and photography have also appeared in many national and
international publications.
