An anthology of fourteen short stories by five authors - Otto Tucker, Ted Russell, Cyril Poole, Jessie Mifflen, and George Earle. A mixed bag. Unfortunately, some of the stories are more in the class of reminiscence or memoir than yarn.

Subtitled "The Life and Times of Joan Morrissey - Newfoundland's First Lady of Song -". Less a biography than a series of loving reminiscences and tributes from family members (the author is her daughter) and friends. Many family photos.

Subtitled "Radio and TV Reporting in the Smallwood era". The author's memoir of his days working in Newfoundland radio. To quote, "Whimsical recollections of events, issues and personalities covered working in St. John's news media in the 1950s and 60s". Includes lots of peeks behind the scenes at the stations.

Subtitled "A Story of Piracy and Smuggling". An adventure novel for teens, and actually a pretty good tale, but having the main teen character come from Newfoundland is about the only Newfoundland involvement. Reprinted in 1986.

A memoir of growing up in St. John's in the 1950s. Family ups and downs, romances, ... at times sad, at times happy, at times tender, at times funny, but at all times entertaining.

An edited selection of Guy's satirical newspaper columns about life in Newfoundland. Probably better if read when originally published.

Subtitled "Mental Illness in Outport Newfoundland". A slim academic treatise, published by Memorial University's Institute of Social and Economic Research. A 2007 reprint, complete with a catchy cover design, of a posthumously edited version of a 1972 Master's Thesis in Sociology. Purports to analyze mental illness in outports, but, regardless of the medical jargon thrown around, is not by a medical student. Rather, it is a study (of sorts) of a non-random sample of people from a non-random sample of a few settlements in one non-randomly selected bay (chosen because the author had some roots there). Doubtful of much interest or use, other than as one more title for the bibliography if another student writes a similar thesis.

A memoir, subtitled "Recollections of a Newfoundland Fishery Officer". A bit stilted in the very correct English he uses to quote himself when speaking, but interesting, with a lot of Branch / St. Bride's local color.

Subtitled "The War Letters Of Frances Cluett, VAD". Letters home from a Newfoundland woman serving as a volunteer medical aid during World War I, including in France near the front lines. A glimpse into the horrors of war as seen through her eyes.

Subtitled "Stories of Newfoundland and Labrador Christmases Gone By". A mixed bag of short stories, all with some connection to the Christmas season. Some by the authors, including the best ones by Alice Lannon.
