Newfoundland is well-known for the strong traditions and folklore of its Enghlish-speaking inhabitants. Until recently, however, few outside this province realized that there is also a small but vigorous Francophone population, situated mainly on the west coast of the island in and around the Port au Port Peninsula. Their culture and folklore, and specifically their storytelling traditions, are the focus of this work noted folklorist and Memorial University professor Gerald Thomas. This book examins private and public storytekking in Franco-Newfoundland communities, through the study of the repertoire, context and lives of three people: Mrs. Blanche Ozon, Mrs. Angela Kerfont, and Emile Benoit.
