From a lifetime of collecting, Caplan offers tales from the rare complex of Cape Breton Island traditions. From a grim sealing trek to a mother’s courage in a windstorm, to memories of drunken hens, to a shark attack. The book includes fables from the island’s diverse ethnic heritage in among stories from the Gaelic, French and Mi’kmaq traditions. Good solid reading in one lasting collection! Canadian author Ronald Caplan’s award-winning work is best known for keeping the Cape Breton story alive through oral testimony and images.
