Don’t Honk Twice: A Prince Edward County Anthology
Leigh Nash & Tanya Finestone & Nella Casson$20.95
Prince Edward County is the stuff of magic: gorgeous beaches, unruly vineyards, Horn Trips, and meat rolls at the Elks Lodge. Don’t Honk Twice: A Prince Edward County Anthology is a dedicated effort to try and pin down that magic and celebrate everything Prince Edward County has to offer. Edited by Tanya Finestone and Leigh Nash, and illustrated by Nella Casson, contributions span the breadth of PEC experiences, including local legends (and gossip!), family stories, historical anecdotes, and personal essays that capture the colour and character of the real County.
Introduction
from Don't Honk Twice: A Prince Edward County Anthology
This book is equal parts love letter, wayfinder, and snapshot of Prince Edward County. These pages share stories of failure, conflict, growth, and renewal that include and stretch the usual County tropes of farms, wineries, and sand dunes. This isn’t just a book of nostalgia, and it definitely does not attempt to pin down a definitive County experience—the whole point is that there is no definitive County experience.
Our hope is that Don’t Honk Twice will be surprising, elusive, and different. This is a book of County stories, told by the people who lived them. We’d like you to turn to your neighbour and ask them to share their favourite County memory, the one story they always tell over a drink, the rumour or legend they’ve heard told a thousand different ways.
Our title is a nod to this: it points to a story we couldn’t quite pin down. We kept the title anyway, because we feel it is the perfect prompt for you, dear reader, to go out and collect your own anthology of County stories.
