Bill Arnott is the bestselling author of A Perfect Day for a Walk and the Gone Viking travelogues. Recipient of Fellowships at Britain’s Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Bill’s a frequent presenter for universities, TV, and radio. Between expeditions Bill can be found on Canada’s west coast, where he lives on Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh land.
Bill’s latest bestseller, A Perfect Day for a Walk: The History, Cultures, and Communities of Vancouver, on Foot, is a series of strolls through Vancouver neighbourhoods, exploring firsthand stories that make this city unique.
“As a lifelong Vancouverite, I love this book.”
– Grant Lawrence, author of Adventures in Solitude
Bill’s next release, A Season in the Okanagan, available for pre-order now, is the follow up to BC’s top-selling A Season on Vancouver Island, travel memoirs with vibrant visual art – Bill’s painted photos to accompany his engaging excursions.
“Arnott’s writing is kin to John Steinbeck’s travel narratives, family with Anthony Bourdain’s descriptive yarns, neighbourly to Jan Morris’s travel missives – and yet singularly his own voice.”
– Rick Antonson, co-author of Slumach’s Gold
