Description

Newfoundland is not like any other province of Canada. It has the oldest history, the richest music and folklore . . . and the most relaxed lifestyle, bo of a colourful and romantic cultural heritage. But above all there is the famous sense of humour. Newfoundlanders have the divine gift of being able to laugh at their troubles, at their triumphs, and at themselves. The stories and quips in this book are not the transplanted ethnic slurs known as Newfie Jokes. This collection is vintage Newfoundland humour. It is also vintage Al Clouston.

About the author
