Some of the most scathing and dismissive comments ever printed about Vancouver were made by the English essayist and travel writer C. Henry Warren in his travelogue Wild Goose Chase: Being the Journal of an Intimate Adventure into the New World.

Most of Warren's books concerned the English countryside but he was also knowledgeable about Buddhism and music. His best-known book, England is a Village, evoked the charms and benefits of life in the East Anglian village of Larkfield.
