Leon Trotsky spent some time at which prisoner-of war camp in 1917? What is a resident of Halifax called? What's a "puddick"? Where would you find the answers to these intriguing questions? In volumes 2 and 3 of Calvin Coish's "Canada Quiz" series, of course!

These two volumes have been written because of positive response to the original Canada Quiz¹. Each volume contains fifty ten-item sets of probing questions about the province's social and political history, geography, folklore, and arts scene. The answers have been placed at the ends of the books so that readers will first have to scratch their heads a little before checking to see just "how much they know about" this piece of Canada.

Are you planning a visit to Nova Scotia or Newfoundland, or are you already there and sitting around the kitchen table? Or are you simply just a little curious about the country? Then these two volumes are a useful source of information about our Canada. Whether they are used at home, on the trail, or in the classroom, everyone will delight in the challenge these two trivia gems provide. Teachers, students young and old, parents, tourists, researchers, and librarians will find them interesting and educating tools and entertaining pastimes.
