Tales of Our Coast weaves a rich tapestry of narratives, exploring the myriad interactions, both harmonious and tumultuous, between humanity and the maritime environment. Through a varied array of literary styles, from the lyrical to the starkly realistic, this collection embarks on a profound journey across the tempestuous and serene faces of the sea. The anthology stands out not only for its thematic cohesion but also for showcasing the diversity within its unity; each piece contributes a unique voice to the collective exploration of life's ebb and flow, resilience, and surrender to the vast, enigmatic oceans. The contributors, Arthur Quiller-Couch, Harold Frederic, Gilbert Parker, William Clark Russell, and S. R. Crockett bring to the anthology their distinct backgrounds, rich in historical narratives, cultural depths, and literary achievements. Their collective works align with and contribute to various literary movements of their time, encapsulating the human fascination and metaphysical inquiries instigated by the sea. The anthology serves as a confluence of historical perspectives, cultural narratives, and the timeless human spirit, collectively enriching the reader's understanding of the complex relationship between humans and the maritime world. Tales of Our Coast is an indispensable anthology for readers keen on delving into the multifaceted dialogues between nature and humanity, articulated through the sensitive, sometimes tempestuous lens of five esteemed authors. It presents an unparalleled opportunity to navigate the depths of human emotions, historical epochs, and the perpetual mystery of the seas through a collection that educates, entertains, and evokes reflection.

When Barbra Streisand sends Dick Gephardt a personal fax, it makes headline news. When international relations expert Sean Penn leads his own "tour of peace" in Baghdad, every news desk across the country reports it. It's no secret that Hollywood has a leftward tilt when it comes to politics. But what the celebrity-fawning media fail to show is how Hollywood's liberal bias affects actors, movies, and even public policy. In Tales from the Left Coast, author and political commentator James Hirsen digs deep into the liberal underbelly of Hollywood to reveal how biased politics have corrupted the entire entertainment industry. Through extensive research and scores of interviews, Hirsen uncovers some of the most ridiculous, infuriating, and damning political stunts pulled by celebrities of yesterday and today, and he traces the tangled web of influence the Hollywood elite have over politicians in Washington, D.C.

In 1957, Farley Mowat shipped out aboard one of Newfoundland’s famous coastal steamers, tramping from outport to outport along the southwest coast. The indomitable spirit of the people and the bleak beauty of the landscape would lure him back again and again over the years. In the process of falling in love with a people and a place, Mowat also met the woman who would be the great love of his life. A stunningly beautiful and talented young artist, Claire Wheeler insouciantly climbed aboard Farley’s beloved but jinxed schooner as it lay on the St. Pierre docks, once again in a cradle for repairs, and changed both their lives forever. This is the story of that love affair, of summers spent sailing the Newfoundland coast, and of their decision to start their life together in Burgeo, one of the province’s last remaining outports. It is also an unforgettable portrait of the last of the outport people and a way of life that had survived for centuries but was now passing forever. Affectionate, unsentimental, this is a burnished gem from an undiminished talent. I was inside my vessel painting the cabin when I heard the sounds of a scuffle nearby. I poked my head out the companionway in time to see a lithesome young woman swarming up the ladder which leaned against Happy Adventure’s flank. Whining expectantly, the shipyard dog was endeavouring to follow this attractive stranger. I could see why. As slim and graceful as a ballet dancer (which, I would later learn, was one of her avocations), she appeared to be wearing a gleaming golden helmet (her own smoothly bobbed head of hair) and was as radiantly lovely as any Saxon goddess. I invited her aboard, while pushing the dog down the ladder. “That’s only Blanche,” I reassured my visitor. “He won’t bite. He’s just, uh . . . being friendly.” “That’s nice to know,” she said sweetly. Then she smiled . . . and I was lost. —From Bay of Spirits

The Orkney Islands are a place of mystery and magic, where the past and the present meet, ancient standing stones walk and burial mounds are the home of the trows. Orkney Folk Tales walks the reader across invisible islands that are home to fin folk and mermaids, and seals that are often far more than they appear to be. Here Orkney witches raise storms and predict the outcome of battles, ghosts seek revenge and the Devil sits in the rafters of St Magnus Cathedral, taking notes! Using ancient tales told by the firesides of the Picts and Vikings, storyteller Tom Muir takes the reader on a magical journey where he reveals how the islands were created from the teeth of a monster, how a giant built lochs and hills in his greed for fertile land, and how the waves are controlled by the hand of a goddess.
