One of Canada's favourite storytellers is back with a collection of
classic ghost stories for young readers. If you dare, make your
acquaintance with dark-cloaked ladies gliding through the silent
streets, headless men fished out of the ocean's depths, and
clutching hands reaching out of the inky darkness. Author and
storyteller Dale Jarvis has put together a collection of spooky
stories from Newfoundland and Labrador, along with ghastly tales
hand-picked from haunted spots around the world, and he has retold
them in his own wonderfully creepy style.
All author's royalties from The Golden Leg will be donated to the
Camp Delight Children's Oncology Camp, a project of the
Candlelighters Association of Newfoundland and Labrador. This
annual summer camp program, designed for children between the ages
of 7 and 17 diagnosed with cancer, their siblings, and siblings of
children who have passed away, has hosted hundreds of campers since
1988.
