This is a compilation of a unique writing style. I recall some of my childhood memories as best I can. Some details are sketchy, for it's been such a long time since I left the harbour behind to seek my fame and fortune upalong. That being the case, I exaggerate a bit to fill in the blanks. So my stories are mostly truth with a bit of fiction thrown in. I coined a word to describe it. Triction. Livens it up a bit, don't ya t'ink. And of course some is all fiction, but I'll not say which ones. It should be evident for all to see And if you can't tell the difference, makes no odds to me.

Отрывок из книги
It seems that Newfoundlanders have a language all their own. Or should I say that each area of “The Rock” has its own language. There are as many dialects in Newfoundland as there used to be stages on the shoreline. All blended together they make for interesting conversations.
