4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful view of Newfoundland, February 23, 2001

By	LyndaM.R. (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I found this book while staying at a B&B in Newfoundland, and it was such a wonderful read that I had to run out and buy a copy to take home with me. With wonderful insights into the people of Newfoundland the authors use powerful images and the words of the Newfoundlanders themselves to tell the stories of the place. Alternately powerful and fun, this book is a must for anyone wishing to understand the lives of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and their place in history and Canada.

3.0 out of 5 stars Newfoundland and Labrador, January 3, 2007

By	Clarence Perry "oldcapecodarts" (Cape Cod) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is dated (1988), so I bet some things have changed over the past 18 years. I won't know until I visit Newfoundland this summer. Still a good read for anyone interested in the area.
