InfoPEIHOME / REFERENCE / ALL ABOUT PEI / Tales of PEI Prince Edward Island researcher/author Julie V. Watson spent several years recording tales of strange events that have been passed down by word of mouth and through various publications. Many of the early writings were by visitors to our fair isle who would spend many days travelling and talking with locals, observing and recording all they found in journals which are highly valued today for their insight into the past. Being an Island it was natural that many of the stories involved the sea, shipwrecks, pirates and even treasure. The author separated these works into a matched set of books entitled: The following tales are excerpted from these two books. Should you wish more information about these or other books, check with the authors web site The Creative Connection or email creative@pei.sympatico.ca Frank H. MacArthur also wrote a book, "Legends of Prince Edward Island". The stories depict Islanders and their mode of life before modern transportation linked the Island province with the mainland. Below are three selections from the book. For information on the book, please contact Hugh Simpson at (902) 569-3878. | ||||||
