Summary:
"Patrick O’Flaherty's lively memoir of childhood in a small secluded Newfoundland community, Northern Bay, on the northern tip of Conception Bay on the Bay de Verde Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador,covering the years 1939-54. This time is most unique because it is a bridge between the old Newfoundland with its curious links to England, Ireland, and Scotland, and its new status, after 1949, as a province of Canada. O'Flaherty reimagines just what that lost world was like, how children figured into it, how his family and other families functioned and what part religion played. A Newfoundlander, the son of a fisherman in a small coastal Newfoundland village, Patrick O'Flaherty is a retired professor of English. His books include a history of his homeland, Old Newfoundland: A History to 1843. He has also published Come Near at your Peril (a candid visitors’ guide to the island that the provincial government banned from its tourist chalets), two collections of short stories, and two novels. He now lives in St. John's"--Provided by publisher.
