Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from By the Marshes of Minas
HE stories in this collection all deal with that romantic period in Canadian history when the French were making their last struggle to retain their hold upon the peninsula of Acadie - now called Nova Scotia. The book is named from those wide sea-meadows and that restless water around which chie?y clusters the romance of Acadian story. Two of the tales The Eye of Gluskap and A Tragedy of the Tides are here reprinted from the volume entitled Eartn's Enzgfnas, for the reason that their sub jects bring them obviously within the scope of this collection rather than the other.
