Near the end of the 19th century, the wealthy of Montreal, Boston, and New York "discovered" the sublime beauty of St. Andrews. The Algonquin and other luxurious hotels sprang up to serve these magnates and celebrities, and their "cottages" are among the most elaborate in eastern North America. Summers in St. Andrews is the deliciously anecdotal story of the rich, famous, and powerful who made St. Andrews one of Canada's poshest resort towns. The golden age ended with the Second World War, but the cottages are still enjoyed by their eminent owners. Recalling the glory days, Summers in St. Andrews describes 35 of the cottages in loving detail. The Toronto Star called the book, first published as No Hay Fever and a Railway, "unique and spirited," and The Montreal Gazette pronounced it "delightful," just like the summers it describes.
