  A young school teacher learns about strange lights in a foreboding marsh; a nurse in a remote outport visits the baby she delivered weeks before to find a devastating change; a woman meets a mysterious funeral procession late one evening; a musician falls thrall to a group of strange little people and can’t stop playing. The stories in Spirited Away are populated by the fairy-led, by changelings, by people who stray onto fairy turf and experience unnerving events.  
  These literary renderings of stories and anecdotes that author Tom Dawe has collected from across Newfoundland offer an accessible and engaging introduction to one of the Newfoundland and Labrador’s most powerful and peculiar folk traditions.

  Twas the Night Before Christmas has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American" and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors. A Visit from St. Nicholas eventually was set to music and has been recorded by many artists.

  Did you know that good food can help us to be in a good mood? Everything that we put into our mouth has the power to make us feel better or worse – and we are not talking about a temporary sugar high! We are talking about feeling stronger and more energetic.Lyn collaborated with her eleven-year-old “god-phew” Nathan, to try out some recipes which young people will enjoy, and hopefully encourage them to get into the kitchen and develop a great relationship with whole food.“My nephew Nathan and I worked hard on trying out some recipes in this book that he enjoyed making and eating. So, we hope that you give us a chance to prove to you that eating more natural foods is not only healthier for you but is tasty too. We are not saying that you can’t have the odd takeaway – heaven forbid! However, if you eat better MOST of the time, you will discover that your body will work better for you, and that includes your brain and how you feel about yourself.We eat food at least three times every day, so shouldn’t we know more about what we are
   putting into our mouths? We challenge you to read this book and find out for yourself!”Lyn & Nathan
