Summary:
Raddall creates ten entertaining short stories about his beloved Nova Scotia. Using the unforgiving background and hardship of the environment, Raddall celebrates the people who value humour and common sense. Thomas Head Raddall (1903 - 1994) was born in Hythe, Kent, England. His family moved to Nova Scotia in 1913. He attended Chebucto School in Halifax until 6 December 1917, when the school was converted into a temporary morgue in the wake of the Halifax Explosion. The Raddall family survived the explosion and Raddall wrote about it in his memoirs, In My Time. Raddall was a prolific, award-winning writer. He received Governor General's Awards for three of his books, The Pied Piper of Dipper Creek (1943), Halifax, Warden of the North (1948) and The Path of Destiny (1957).
