"Debuted in Newfoundland on CBC Radio in November 1953. Created and narrated by Ted Russell (1904-1977), each story comprised a segment of approximately six minutes on The fisherman's broadcast."--Preface.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 304-305)

"Pigeon Inlet is the setting for Ted Russell's stories, written for radio between 1953 and 1961. Here you will meet not only Uncle Mose, but other characters whose names have become synonymous with traditional outport life: Grampa and Grandma Walcott, Skipper Joe, Aunt Sophy, Jethro Noddy, and -- of course -- King David. Told with a combination of humour and respect and in a manner that captures the essence of folk narrative, these stories stand as a monument to the dignity of the outport Newfoundlander."

Short stories, Canadian.

Miller, Elizabeth Russell.
