Description
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.
"This book introduces you to the local
personalities. The writers draw you into their world and leave you
feeling like you belong."―Canadian Cookbooks

Editorial Reviews
"Don't Honk Twice
is an anthology of local PECers that will in some small way introduce
you to life in the County. From a city guy buying his first tractor, to
an eagle necropsy, city folk transforming a dilapidated school, Sunday
customers in the local bookstore, upstart businesses like bootlegging,
publishing and music recording, this book introduces you to the local
personalities. The writers draw you into their world and leave you
feeling like you belong."―Canadian Cookbooks
