Description

British Columbia’s fabled capital city has never looked better than on this multi-faceted photo essay, history and shuttle guide by two of the area’s most talented long-time residents. Susan Mayse’s compelling narrative is masterfully illustrated by photographer Chris Cheadle’s vibrant images. With the authors’ guidance, the reader explores Victoria’s famous landmarks, from the Butchart Gardens to the perhaps haunted Empress Hotel to the indubitably haunted Ross Bay Cemetery.

Victoria: Crown Jewel of British Columbia moves from Victoria’s Inner Harbour — the main point of arrival for visitors for 165 years — to the surrounding areas including Port Renfrew at the wild west coast, the forested slopes of Malahat Ridge and the rolling farmlands of the Saanich Peninsula. It also travels backward through time from the Victoria of nowadays to the area’s diverse and once in a while ordinary history, and explores the future as the city grapples with environmental sustainability amidst increasing population pressures. Souvenir book, history and latest guide, Victoria is a volume if you want to appeal to residents and visitors alike.
