Halifax, N.S.: Nimbus Publishing, 1998. Unusual Stories from Mr. Nova Scotia Know-It-All, Bruce Nunn. Bruce Nunn (a native Nova Scotian, writer, and broadcaster with a passion for provincial history) tells true stories from the heart of the Nova Scotia experience; fascinating tales from the past, spiced with his slanted wit and laced with surprising historical connections. It's history with a twist! Thirty-five stories in this book includes the exclusive story of the real Peggy of the famous Peggy's Cove. You'll come face to face with the murderous ghost of Prince's Lodge, shiver with shipwrecked sailors clinging to life, and snort your tea over the comical Celtic nicknames of the northeast. You'll meet the man who lived inside Halifax's Old Town Clock, the men who started the Klondike gold rush, courageous sea captains, makers of illegal tartan, the Savior of Seal Island, the ghost of the first Christmas tree and many more. This varied collection is interesting for grown readers, fun for young readers, and educational for visitors and students of Nova scotia history.
