    Summary:

    A collection of true Christmas stories by Gary Collins, Newfoundland and Labrador’s favourite storyteller!

    Gary Collins invites us to live again the gone forever. These stories embody the soul of Christmas in outport Newfoundland, and each one carries a message that rings true every time: all roads lead to home.

    Christmas, with all its lights and music and gift giving, is also a time to remember days long ago. Community togetherness and the strength of family come alive in these pages, where Gary Collins, in his inimitable style, reminds us of the poverty of possession and the wealth of sharing.

    Stories include . . .
    The Christmas Rescue
    Mummer in the Barrel
    The Christmas Salmon
    Flowers for a Queen
    Concerts and Times
    . . . and many more!
