Born in Ireland at the end of the nineteenth century, James Reynolds was a talented painter, expert horseman, and the author of Paddy Finucane: A Memoir; A World of Horses; Ghosts in American Houses; and many other books. One of his best works is this lively compilation of Irish ghost stories that reflects the rich Celtic imagination. Drawn from his personal collection of over 200 talesranging from the tenth to the twentieth centuriesthese twenty-two yarns are a mix of the eerie, the terrifying, and the madly comic. In "The Bloody Stones of Kerrigan's Keep," vengeful spirits from a centuries-old massacre terrorize all who come close to their fortress grave. In "The Headless Rider of Castle Sheela," the ghost of a beheaded horseman continues to haunt his castle every Christmas day. You'll meet the demonic harpies of "The Ghostly Catch," the giddy spirits of the fashionable O'Haggerty twins, and the gluttonous ghost of Jason Bannott. Other tales include "The Weeping Wall," "The Bridal Barge of Aran Roe," "Mrs. O’Moyne and the Fatal Slap," and more. Enhanced by Reynolds' illustrations of Irish houses and their residentsboth ghostly and humanthis anthology is a treasure to savor. Introduction by Irish author Padraic Colum.

From Wardship to Rights: The Guerin Case and Aboriginal Law (Landmark Cases in Canadian Law)

University of British Columbia Press

This book tells the story of a First Nation's single-minded quest for justice. In 1958, the federal government leased part of the small Musqueam Reserve in Vancouver to an exclusive golf club at below market value. When the band members discovered this in 1970, they initiated legal action. Their tenacity led to the 1984 decision in Guerin v. The Queen, whereby the Supreme Court of Canada held that the government has a fiduciary duty towards Indigenous peoples. Jim Reynolds, who served as one of the legal counsel for the Musqueam, provides an in-depth analysis of this landmark case and its impact on Canadian law, politics, and society. By recognizing that the Musqueam had enforceable legal rights, the Guerin case changed the relationship between governments and Indigenous peoples from one of wardship to one based on legal rights. It was a seismic decision.

Constitutional Law

As part of the process of healing and reparation, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission urged a better understanding of Aboriginal law for all Canadians. This book responds to that call, outlining significant legal developments in straightforward, nontechnical language. James Reynolds provides the historical context needed to understand the relationship between Indigenous peoples and settlers and explains key topics such as sovereignty, treaties, fiduciary duties, the honor of the Crown, Aboriginal rights and title, the duty to consult, Indigenous laws, and international declarations. He concludes that rather than leaving the judiciary to sort out essentially political issues, politicians need to take responsibility for this crucial aspect of building a just society.
