Discover Lord Dorchester's unusual The Villages Within is an irreverent version of Toronto's past that will not improve anyone's knowledge of history, but its fabrications and exaggerations may provide an amusing insight into the lives of those who built the town of York.
Discover Lord Dorchester's unusual method of staying warm while his underwear froze during his first winter in Canada. Learn about Elizabeth Simcoe's struggle with the intoxicating evils of gooseberry wine. Why did the residents of York fear an American invasion in , even though they needed their dollars to support the town's tourist industry? Why did the colonists, who never bathed at the best of times, become truly revolting in ? In a more serious vein, this book chronicles the history and architecture of the Kings West District, the Kensington Market, and the proudly "tacky" Queen Street West.
The narrative, details the events in the life of the old St. Andrew's Market, allowing those who visit it today to appreciate its rich heritage.
