Description
Saint John's great storyteller finally turns his attention to his home turf: the community of West Saint John where he was born and raised. The author of the best-selling Tall Tales & Curious Happenings offers us his very humorous recollections about growing up in a close-knit neighborhood and interweaves his own stories with those of other well known personalities who have this neighborhood in common.
