While too few know her name, many know the songs and poems of Lillian Crewe Walsh, author of Cape Breton’s classics and ballads that have joined the world song tradition. She grew up in Neil’s Harbour, lived on Scatarie Island and in Galce Bay –a proud Cape Bretoner who never lost touch with her Newfoundland roots. Includes 48 Ballads and poems, and “A Conversation about Lillian Crewe Walsh.”
