About this ebook
"Bill Engleson has written a very funny book filled with stories rooted in truth and leavened with affection. The Island (Denman Island, BC) , the people and all that unfolds in between will keep you chuckling as you hang on for the ride. It makes me long to return to Denman." ~ Terry Fallis, two time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour.
