4.5 Review from our book reader
"Those were the days my friend We wished they'd never end" Still my favourite place to visit. I feel at peace there. And this book has jogged so many memories.
Hi Fred ...thanks for dropping off those books for Dad. Your visit lifted his spirit as will your stories. Dad is going through quite a life transition and your book will help take his mind off all those things.
Come here til I tells ya... Fred, I cannot begin to tell you how this book resonates in my soul - I am transported back to my youth to that beautiful Island, my most perfect place to visit with my grandparents every summer, a free-range child exploring every rock and cranny on the point beneath the Church, reaching for bluebells which always seemed to be just out of my grasp!
Rug Hooker nd Avid Reader
I cannot tell you how thankful I am for your book. So far (and I am halfway through only because I have not had time to read it all yet) I have laughed and cried both of which are my own indicators of a really good read! So much of what your have documented hits home in a wonderfully, nostalgic manner. My own parents stayed and tended the light on South Head (Southern Head) the first winter they were married so it was their honeymoon site.
Retired Teacher
They were married in late September 1926. I simply loved hearing them tell about that winter. My mom, who lived to be 95, said it was the very best time of her life. I admire what you are doing - documenting those periods of time that will be forever lost without people like you. You must know that I like writing very much and regret that my time never seems to be my own to pursue just that. With the sadness in your own life, I feel sure that these periods of reminiscence are healing as well as providing you with a new purpose. En avant, Fred.
"A masterclass in memoir writing. Fred Parsons has a natural voice that’s both inviting and reflective. This book deserves a place on every Canadian bookshelf."
Professor of Canadian Literature, Memorial University
"Fred’s storytelling is grounded in authenticity. He paints scenes with such clarity that you can smell the salt in the air and hear the wind along the coast."
Journalist & Former CBC Contributor
"This collection is filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom. It’s a comfort read for anyone who appreciates the depth of real life and real memories."
Librarian & Avid Reader, Clarenville, NL
"More than just stories—this book is a cultural keepsake. Fred has captured the Newfoundland spirit in a way that’s both personal and universal."
Editor, Northern Shores Literary Journal

Music is favored in many homes,
And kitchen parties are big.
You may take part in a singalong,
Or do a Newfie jig.
But best of all, the citizens
Are friendly as can be.
Come-from-aways or local folk
Are welcomed in for tea.
This little port with treasures great
Attracts tourists from all parts —
To beautiful Long Island,
And its people with big hearts.
– A Small Island of Abundance
