This very readable book shows how customs, both spiritual and secular, take hold in families, in villages, and in a culture as a whole. Georges Arsenault, the well-known historian and folklorist, examines all the aspects of the feast of Christmas, from midnight mass to holiday foods. As he chronicles the cultural changes that have taken place over the centuries, he proves that Acadian Christmas today is the result of a wonderful blending of old, new, and borrowed traditions.9781894838269PEICategories: Christianity,Christian Worship, Rites & Ceremonies Format: Paperback Language: en |

| Along Lot Seven Shore: Folksongs and Other Writings by Harold, Steve, and Donnie DoyleFolksongs & Other Writings by Harold, Steve and Donnie DoyleDonnie DoyleCharlottetown, P.E.I. : Acorn Press-2000-01-01108 pagesDescription: Often, folksongs are left to stand alone, with no record as to the events, visions and principles that inspired them. Rarely do we get a glimpse of the poet's view of the community and people he or she writes about. However, Donnie Doyle, in wanting to give something back to his community, has done just that. Along Lot Seven Shore is a fascinating combination of memoir, anecdote, narrative song and poetry, created by someone who has experienced that which he has written. In so doing, he shares glimpses of a way of life that makes and defines "community"; ; this particular community happens to be along Lot Seven Shore of Prince Edward Island (named so when the Island was divided into 67 lots and given in a Land Lottery to the English King's patrons in 1767), but it could be anywhere in rural Canada.9780969860679PEICategories: Biography & Autobiography Language: en |

Abandoned on the streets of Toronto at the tender age of thirteen, she became pregnant at seventeen by her one true love only to be left to raise her son alone. She then married an abusive, alcoholic man twice her age, and became his nursemaid after an accident left him paraplegic. As her son neared his eighteenth birthday, he was stricken with cancer. His dying wish was to meet his natural father. From a wish granted to a dying child, a fork in the road would meet and their lives would be forever changed. Her story is true, but in the end, she has found a second chance at the life she has always yearned for."--Page 4 of cover.9781553832294PEICategories: Adult children of alcoholics Format: Paperback Language: en |

| An Island Christmas ReaderDavid WealeCharlottetown, P.E.I. : Acorn Press-1994-01-01104 pagesDescription: This season, writers seem to be finding it everywhere -- in people, in art, in a cloud or a boulder, and even in the sweetness of chocolate and the people who make it. Abode of Love, our first release of the fall season, is Kate Barlow's gripping tale about her mysterious family. Already drawing rave reviews in the UK, Abode of Love is the first insider's account of growing up within the "walls" of the Agapemone cult. Following hard on its heels is The Elephant Talks to God. In this new, enlarged edition of an all-time classic, Dale Estey returns with light-hearted conversations about the meaning of life between an impetuous elephant and an enigmatic god. In Bruno Bobak: The Full Palette, Bernard Riordon leads a distinguished group of writers as they examine the multi-faceted career of one of Canada's most senior artists. And in Ganongs, David Folster takes us back to the 19th century and forward to the 21st as he explores the history and future of Canada's oldest chocolatier.9780969860600PEICategories: Fiction Illustrators: Dale McNevin Language: en |

| An Islander Strikes BackPatrick LedwellAcorn Press-2016-05-05172 pagesDescription: New from P.E.I.'s most beloved comedian! A tiny land, on the outer lip of the known universe. A changing time, with empires hellbent on flattening all places into one. And a scrappy group of misfits, who unite to fight a future they don't even recognize yet. Sound familiar? That's because we're describing Prince Edward Island. In his new book "An Islander Strikes Back" humourist Patrick Ledwell admits his little province is way behind the mainland. But it means Islanders like Ledwell can see where they're going-- about 10 years before they manage to get there. A follow-up to "I Am an Islander" his hit first collection, "An Islander Strikes Back" hoists its battle flag on a cracking fault line between past and present, here and there, and releases the pressures for natural laughs. The short, funny pieces tap into deep-seated questions, roiling beneath the surface, such as "Does an aging population make me more attractive?" and "How can I possibly become alpha to my dog, when I pick up his deposits in a grocery bag?" In "An Islander Strikes Back", Patrick Ledwell sounds a rallying cry for comedic resistance everywhere. Won't you join him?9781927502259PEICategories: Prince Edward Island Format: Hardcover Language: en |

| Mud, Sweat and Tears: Tales of a Country VetTales of a Country VetBud IngsAcorn Pr-2008-01-01120 pagesDescription: Mud, Sweat and Tears tells the story of Bud Ings' adventures as a rural veterinarian in the 1950s. As one of Prince Edward Island's first professionally trained veterinarians, Ings set up his practice in the eastern town of Souris before moving to Montague. Farms were rarely close at hand, however, and the sight of Bud Ings behind the wheel of his Volkswagen Bug became a familiar one on the Island's highways and muddy back roads. And whether he was helping to deliver a calf, giving shots of penicillin to a pig, or putting down a beloved horse, Ings treated each animal- and each farmer- with dignity and respect. Ings' memoir is a rich, often humorous account of his first decade as a vet, at time when there were few vacations, no modern tools of the trade, and no request too strange to attend to. It's also the story of a past era, when PEI's farms flourished and the animals were not only the backbone of the economy, but part of the family.9781894838382PEICategories: Veterinarians Format: Paperback Language: en |

| Shipwrecks and Seafaring Tales of Prince Edward IslandJulie V. WatsonDundurn-1996-07-25199 pagesDescription: In the 450 years since Jacques Cartier's arrival, Prince Edward Island's history has been tied to the sea and to ships. From the first explorers through immigrants, traders, sailors, and fishermen, thousands of seafaring people and their ships have come and gone -- many lost to the relentless sea. Julie Watson has dug through the archives and unearthed harrowing accounts, from the expulsion of the Acadians to the amazing 1836 adventure of Tommy Tuplin, age six, who was washed overboard in a storm then washed back into the ship's rigging. This book includes fascinating stories of buried treasure, legends of ghost ships, and tales of storms that have become part of the island's history and folklore. Add to these stories of seal hunts, waterspouts, U-boats, and ice boats, and you start to share in what it means to be an islander -- and what the unforgiving sea can yield.9780888821669PEICategories: Fiction Language: en |

Text in hand, she called on her friend Dean Johnstone to add the magic of his pen through drawings and cartoons.9780888821072PEICategories: Humor Language: en |

| Still Crazy After All These Years: Wayne Wright's Prince Edward Island CartoonsWayne WrightIsland Studies Press-2011-01-01107 pagesDescription: "Wayne Wright's editorial cartoons in Summerside, PEI's Journal Pioneer newspaper continue to tickle the funny bone of Prince Edward Islanders everywhere. Somehow (and we are grateful), he always seems to be laughing with us, rather than at us. His knack for holding up a mirror to the "Island way of life' provokes not only belly laughs but often fire and brimstone. On one occasion, a reader demanded his public flogging, while the former mayor of a certain PEI municipality threatened to haul him up before a United Nations Human Rights Tribunal! On the other hand, Wayne's work can also warm your heart. His talent reached its largest audience when late-night talk show host David Letterman held up one of Wayne's cartoons after the 9/11 disaster in New York, in an attempt to cheer up a devastated America. The cartoon depicted the 'real twin towers' of New York: The NYPD and the NYFD. The Institute of Island Studies at UPEI is thrilled to have partnered with Wayne on this project. Wayne Wright's work is a people's history that goes well beyond being entertaining. It provides a social commentary that reminds us all what is truly important in life, and why we love this Island, potato warts and all!" --9780919013704PEICategories: Canadian wit and humor,Pictorial Language: en |

Over the past few decades the changes have been so profound that the recent past is now referred to by many as "them times." Based on the popular local CBC Radio series of the same name, Them Times is a collection of historical vignettes depicting Prince Edward Island before and after what some folklorists call "the break," that early post-World War II period when the twentieth century seemed to hit the Island all at once. David Weale combines anecdotal reminiscences of Islanders with some of his own musings and observations of a way of life that has all but disappeared.9780919013155PEICategories: Literary Criticism Language: en |

| A Very Fine Class of Immigrants: Prince Edward Island's Scottish Pioneers, 1770-1850Lucille H. CampeyNatural Heritage Books-2001-08-28204 pagesDescription: Scots who opted for pioneer life in Prince Edward Island are the subject of this book. Being the first of the "northern" colonies to be sold off in its entirety to proprietors in the late eighteenth century, P.E.I. acquired its Scots earliest, doing so even before the start of the American War of Independence in 1775. The colonization of Prince Edward Island by Scots takes us back to a period when the process of emigration and settlement were in their infancy. The Pioneer Scots of Prince Edward Island should command our respect. They showed tremendous courage and determination and most were successful. Previous studies of early Scottish emigration to the New World have tended to concentrate on the miseries of evictions and the destruction of old communities. In this groundbreaking study of the influx of Scots to Prince Edward Island, the widely held assumption that emigration was solely a flight from poverty is challenged. By uncovering previously unreported ship crossings, as well as a wide range of manuscripts and underused sources such as customs records and newspaper shipping reports, the book provides the most comprehensive account to date of the influx of Scots to the Island. "A Very Fine Class of Immigrants" is essential reading for individuals wishing to trace family links or deepen their understanding of how and why the Island came to acquire its distinctive Scottish communities. And by accessing, for the first time, shipping sources like Lloyd's List and the Ll...9781896219103PEICategories: History,Americas,Canada Format: Paperback Language: en |

| Vintage ChristmasMarlene CampbellNimbus Publishing (CN)-2016-09-26160 pagesDescription: Travel back in time to when Christmas was a simple affair: children were content to receive an apple, an orange, or a piece of barley candy in their stockings; clothes, meals, and decorations were all homemade; and it was time spent with family, not expensive gifts, that warmed hearts during the holiday season. This nostalgic collection recalls Christmas celebrations of the 1930s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, transporting readers to the unheated farmhouse bedrooms and cozy barn stalls of rural Prince Edward Island, and the thrilling big-city department store visits to nearby Summerside.
