Another Night
Cape Breton Stories True and Short and Tall
Forty-five terrific stories collected by Ronald Caplan over 25 years of publishing Cape Breton’s Magazine. The stories range widely ”from outrageous personal experiences to classic tales of giants and kings“—stories for readers everywhere. There are tales of giants, but there is also Alex Gillis’s story of getting his winter’s wood off the mountain in about two minutes on the Big Sleigh. There are stories as real as Trueman Clark’s being washed overboard in mid-ocean and then washed back on board again with the next wave, the teapot still in his hands! The book offers sorrow and good humour and survival tactics, hard work, twists on the ordinary, and just plain old supernatural sights and sounds. Stories such as How the Two Bulls Went to Orangedale • The Treasure of the Clyburn Valley • 3 Acadians on the Ice • Percy Peters and the Wild Cow • Pit Tales...and much more! “Another Night is ample proof of the continuing vigour of the Cape Breton storytelling tradition.”
