Product: Ride the Rocket – Toronto Enabled: A Humorous Autobiographical Guide for Disabled Visitors
Description: So, why write a book about Toronto when you are English and live in London?
The answer is simple. I count myself lucky. There have been times in my life when I have come close to being a wheelchair user.
Now, after three long spells in hospital undergoing extensive surgery I am, for most of the time, able to get around.
My passion is travel. During my many visits to Toronto, visiting newly discovered family, I have spent some considerable time exploring the city.
My experiences alerted me to the problems faced by disabled people in general, and wheelchair users in particular.
This book is not intended as an extensive travel guide, but I have been to most of the major, and many of the minor attractions.
In my humorous autobiographical travelogue I have not set out to criticize any person or place, but where a building is not accessible, or is difficult to gain access to, I have reflected this in the star rating shown in the Infospot at the end of each chapter. The ratings indicate access and disabled facilities. One star indicates extremely limited facilities and access, and five stars indicate excellent facilities and access.
Information is based on my own observations and research, and is accurate as far as possible. Please check relevant websites for up-to-date pricing and admission details.
Ride the Rocket – Toronto Enabled also explores the developing relationship between me and my new family. It looks at some of the hilarious episodes that arose because, as you probably know, spoken English in Canada is just like a foreign language to us Brits!
Frances Spiegel was born at a very early age in Bushey, Hertfordshire. Until recently she worked in the field of disabled sports. She is also an experienced journalist with more than 1,000 articles to her credit.

Product: Royal Spectacle: The 1860 Visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada and the United States (Heritage)
Description: In 1860, Queen Victoria sent her eighteen-year-old son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, on a goodwill mission to Canada and the United States. The young heir-apparent (later King Edward VII) had not yet gained his reputation as a fashion setter and rake, but he nevertheless attracted enormous crowds both in Canada, where it was the first royal visit, and in the United States. Civic leaders hosted the visitor in princely style, decorating their towns with triumphal arches and organizing royal entries, public processions, openings, and grand balls.

In Royal Spectacle, Ian Radforth recreates these displays of civic pride by making use of the many public and private accounts of them, and he analyses the heated controversies the visit provoked. When communities rushed to honour the prince and put themselves on display, social divisions inadvertently became part of the spectacle seen by the prince and described by visiting journalists. Street theatre reached a climax in Kingston, where the Prince of Wales could not disembark from his steamer because of the defiance of thousands of Orangemen dressed in their brilliant regalia and waiving their banners.

Contemporary depictions of the tour provide an opportunity to interpret the cultural values and social differences that shaped Canada during the Confederation decade and the United States on the eve of the Civil War. Topics explored include Orange-Green conflict, First Nations and the politics of public display, contested representations of race and gender, the tourist gaze, and meanings of crown and empire. An original and erudite study, Royal Spectacle contributes greatly to historical research on public spectacle, colonial and national identities, Britishness in the Atlantic world, and the history of the monarchy.

Product: Toronto: A Visitor’s Travel Guide
Description: This Toronto visitor’s guide provides a description of everything a traveler needs to know about Canada’s biggest city.
LANDSCAPE: Most of Toronto’s major attractions are located in the downtown core, but the city sprawls out in all directions, into “inner suburbs” like Scarborough, Etobicoke, and North York. Beyond city boundaries are the “outer suburbs” of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) like Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, and Pickering.
HISTORY: Toronto is a young city, founded by the British at the end of the 18th century. The city started off as a tiny colonial outpost, but gradually grew to become Canada’s biggest city, with over 2.5 million people.

NEIGHBOURHOODS: Descriptions of Toronto’s unique neighbourhoods, including Kensington Market, Yorkville, and the famous Yonge Street strip.
PARKS: Toronto has an extensive network of parks, especially along creeks and rivers. Even in the heart of busy downtown Toronto, quiet parks are often only a stone throw’s away.
FESTIVALS AND EVENTS include the Caribbean-themed Caribana festival in July and August. Taste of the Danforth is an August food festival. Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) draws Hollywood stars in September. Nuit Blanche is an arts-themed event in the fall.
FOOD: As a multicultural city, Toronto has all kinds of different cuisines available.
MONEY: The currency is the Canadian dollar.
