Come On We Goes
Around the What? and The Great Foggy Day are the first two of Karen Silver's stories set in and revolving around Newfoundland and Labrador's culture, history, weather, language, and geography. This set of stories and those that will follow aim to teach children- not only those born in, residing in, or having connections to Newfoundland and Labrador but from all over- just how special our province is. Around The What? Focuses on the geographical aspects of St. John's and how it compares to other cities in Canada, The Great Foggy Day explores the often unpredictable weather patterns of Newfoundland and Labrador and how they too differ from other geographical regions; both in away that children can not only understand but also relate to.
Stories from the Hole in the Ceiling
Children in their formative years often learned secrets and gained an understanding of a wider world through the hole in the ceiling. Now as adults, they share for the first time their cherished memories of overheard conversations that have shaped their lives--stories of humour, heartache, and joy--from friends, relatives, and visitors to their childhood homes. The character of Newfoundland and Labrador comes shining through in this treasury of shared experiences collected by retired teacher Anne Galway, who has seen the value of the unique and fascinating education that can be gained through the hole in the ceiling.
The Actor's Survival Kit
The Actor’s Survival Kit is required reading in Canadian theatre schools and is a constant resource for its many readers across the country. This fifth edition gives actors fresh research from today’s experience, new lists of Canada-wide contacts, and input from success stories. It speaks to a new generation of artists, giving them an up-to-date guide to the business of acting. The book addresses a range of new issues: performer websites, video self-production, and sending rmand networking on the Internet. It also takes a fresh look at old ones: agents, self-promotion, and work opportunities for women and minorities. The authors learn by constantly talking to emerging artists about the problems they face in the business in Canada. Often those conversations begin with, "You wrote the book!" The authors are still receiving thanks from grateful artists who have been guided by this irreplaceable book over the years.
Pathways of Creativity in Contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador
The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador is a mythologized place that resonates with tragic adventure, polar expeditions and Grand Banks fishing; a real and imagined geography with an incredible artistic output that calls for critical discussion. This book examines the diversity of this province’s literature and culture, taking into consideration the expertise of scholars and writers who have first-hand knowledge of its unique context. Chapters on history, travel, fiction, autobiography, poetry, theatre, storytelling, filmmaking, and the visual arts provide an up-to-date survey across a broad range of artistic endeavours, as well as close readings of selected texts.

Historisk roman bygget op omkring en gruppe ekspeditioner i Newfoundland i starten af det 19. århundrede under den britiske overhøjheds auspicier krydret med kærlighed og spænding
Galore
An intricate family saga and love story spanning two centuries, Galore is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland, a place almost too harrowing and extravagant to be real. Remote and isolated, exposed to savage extremes of climate and fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish. Propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through generations, Galore is alive with singular characters, and an uncommon insight into the complexities of human nature. Sprawling and intimate, stark and fantastical, Galore is a novel about the power of stories to shape and sustain us. This is Michael Crummey's most ambitious and accomplished work to date.
