About Strange Truths and Tall Tales: Product of Newfoundland
From the publisher's feed
We tell all kinds of stories from Newfoundland, Canada but the ‘strange and unusual’ is our sweet-spot. You’ll hear true-life accounts of death-defying courage, tales of horrible sea monsters and stories of murderous mummers. Alongside the history and folklore, we chat with modern-day storytellers who stop by to talk about their work.
It’s a bit like ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ meets ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ Strange bedfellows? Definitely. It’s fun though.
So, spend some time with us unravelling ‘the yarns that knit ya'.
