Published: Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2001, 184 pages, 6 x 9 inches, paperback: 0-88780-541-8.
Description: A charming and rare literary portrait of Nova Scotia's short-lived nineteenth century Icelandic settlement. It is a little-known classic of 19th-century Canadian literature, never before translated from the original Icelandic. The book is based on Magnus Bjarnason’s experiences as a young boy when he and his family migrated along with other Icelanders to the Mooseland Hills, in rural Nova Scotia. The stories chronicle his adventures as a hired hand working for a farm family, and then at a gold mine. The author introduces the men with whom he worked and retells stories that, like the Norse sagas, present men of strength and high principle tried by hard circumstances. Errand Boy in the Mooseland Hills, presented to English audiences for the first time in this appealing translation by Borga Jakobson, will endure for its high literary quality and for its unmatched portrait of a rare chapter in Nova Scotia’s rural life.

Published: Formac Publishing Company Limited, 1999, 72 pages, 8 1/4 x 9 inches.
Description: St. Paul's is Halifax’s oldest building, its first place of worship, and remains central to the civic life of the city after more than 250 years on the Grand Parade. St. Paul’s figures prominently in the city’s long relationship with the British royal family, and has played an important role in key events in Halifax history, from the town’s founding to the sinking of the Titanic, the 1917 Explosion, and the immense tragedies of two world wars. Through it all the church has served as a place of worship and a source of outreach into the broader community. The building itself is fascinating, with many fine architectural features and beautiful furnishings. All these elements of St. Paul's history are explored in this book. Illustrated with a wide selection of historical and modern visuals - many in full colour - St. Paul’s in the Grand Parade is a vivid reflection on one of the country’s most historic places of worship.
