Here is a list of three dozen of the top literary locales in the country. The selection of sites is necessarily subjective, yet it attempts to represent geographical, historical, social and cultural concerns as well as strictly literary interests. Had this list been prepared by the editors of Michelin Guide, they would have added asterisks or stars to the entries: * Interesting. ** Worth a detour. *** Worth a journey. It is the opinion of the author of Canadian Literary Landmarks that all 36 sites are "Worth a journey." It is recognized that the average person is unlikely to visit number one, not to mention number 36, but as these sites happen to be the first and last entries in the book, they mark a convenient and symbolic beginning and ending. (Number one being L'Anse aux Meadows, Epaves Bay, Nfld. and number 36 being the North Pole, NWT).
