QR code
"Baddeck, and That Sort of Thing" by Charles Dudley Warner is a travel narrative written during the late 19th century. The book recounts the adventures of two comrades embarking on a journey to explore the provinces of Canada, particularly focusing on their experiences in Baddeck, a region that piques their interest for its natural beauty and opportunities for fishing. The beginning of the narrative introduces the authors and their motivations for the
journey, starting with a playful preface that highlights the origins of their trip inspired by a friend's suggestion. As they set off from Boston, the two travelers are enveloped in a humorous depiction of their surroundings and the challenges of urban life before they begin their adventure. Their first experiences are filled with comic misadventures and observations about the strange sounds of the night, the chaotic city, and their initial explorations leading them towards the picturesque landscapes that await them in Baddeck. The opening captures the essence of their journey through vivid descriptions, reflective thoughts on travel, and anticipatory excitement for the adventures that lie ahead.
