‘Believe It or Not‘ and Acadia for the Curious’ were alternate titles considered for this book, as was ‘Acadia – Facts, Fancies & Foibles’. But, in the end the subtitle, ‘Stunning, Strange, & Surprising Facts’ hits the nail squarely on the head, the emphasis on ‘stunning’. This book is chock full of amazing (even arresting) facts about Acadia for your entertainment, regalement and enchantment. At the same time, this book will also enhance your appreciation and knowledge of Acadia. Now, when driving along the fabled ‘Ocean Drive’ you will know that the granite blocks that border the road have quite the amusing name. You will know that while every sunrise seen from atop Cadillac Mountain is special, you cannot experience ‘first sunrise over mainland U.S.’ from Acadia during the summer. It is also not the case, contrary to all you may have heard or hear, that Acadia was the first National Park east of the Mississippi. 2016 was also not the centenary of the Park! Plus ‘Cadillac’ is a fake title. Also, what is deemed Maine’s ‘First Lake’ is in Acadia. Plus, now you will notice that the cute, three-arched bridge over ‘Otter Creek’ is both curved and banked – not because it needs to be, but, instead, just for added aesthetics. All of that is but a start. There is a lot more in the book – over 200+ Incredible Facts. Check it out using the ‘Preview’ (i.e., ‘Look Inside’) feature. That will show you the fun that beckons. With this book you can enjoy and explore Acadia from a comfy seat, before, during, or after a visit. A warning, however. This book could make you a repeat visitor (like the author who visits at least twice, each year, and has done so for well over a decade).
The back cover of this book talks about how Acadia’s magic is due to synergy, and how this book adds to that to enhance the joy of your ‘Acadian Experience’.
The Preface, on the other hand, asks you to imagine Acadia as a yummy apple pie, with this book as the rich, premium topping that makes it into an irresistible à la Mode. Cut to the chase this book is all about adding fun, excitement, and context to your Acadian Adventure. Enjoy.
