As a child growing up in a small town in Canada, in the early 1900s, John Humphrey experienced much bullying after the loss of his arm at age six.

An Orange From Portugal - Christmas Stories From The Maritimes and Newfoundland

It's often said that the main export of the Maritimes is Maritimers, and the same is true of Newfoundland. "Going down the road" is a way of life, but so is coming home for Christmas.

Many of her choices are fiction, others are memoirs, tall tales, poems, or essays, and s... View more info

Drawing extensively on Gill's correspondence with his parents and his siblings, this very personal account of war shows how Gill was transformed from a sm... View more info
