Publisher's Synopsis
Grandpa Pike may not have "seen it all," but he has a lifetime of encounters-both serious and humourous-from his life in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia that make for terrific reading. Whether it's relating the magic of "making" firewood, the joy of owning a century--old parlour organ, or relating the frugal way of life within rural communities of his childhood, Grandpa Pike provides a unique perspective on family, school, and work.
