Description

Strange Nova Scotia is a fun and, yes, STRANGE romp through this strange land. From Nova Scotia’s connection to why the White House is painted white, to the famed Shag Harbour UFO incident and the possible landing of Prince Henry Sinclair at Chedabucto Bay on June 2, 1398, this book will amuse and intrigue you on every page. From one of the province’s best-known folklorists and the wit of a budding young illustrator comes this instant classic. Welcome to Strange Nova Scotia.
