Travel Writing

Will Ferguson has spent the past three years criss-crossing Canada. In a helicopter above the barren lands of the sub-arctic. In a canoe with his four year-old-son. On seaplanes and on the Underground, Ferguson's travels have taken him from Cape Spear on the coast of Newfoundland to the sun-dappled streets of Olde Victoria.

Will Ferguson delves into Canada's history and landscape, and what he discovers along the way is fascinating and provocative. His Canada is revealed as a series of outposts - not only geographically but culturally - and the tales he tells of its inhabitants are correspondingly quixotic.

Funny, poignant and insightful, Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw seeks out the unique, weaving together a story of a nation of individuals. Ferguson's quest becomes a personal tribute to a quirky and intriguing country.
