These six Mi'kmaq stories are great tales, brilliantly retold by Ruth Whitehead. They have their roots firmly planted in the collective life of a people who had made Nova Scotia their home for centuries before the arrival of the Europeans. They offer us a rare and valuable insight into the powerful relationship between the Mi'kmaq and the often surprising world in which they lived.

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

An Adventure in indigo, summer sapphires, dewy downy bunches of black and blue –what else but BLUEBERRIES! And what goes best with blueberries? Memories! Memories of berry pickin’ time and the delectable delights that follow –pies, jams, jellies, cakes, cookies, puddings, drinks, salads, and, of course, blueberry muffins. The Blueberry Connection has them all. And tucked between the hand-lettered recipes are bits of fact, fluff, and folklore –absolutely anything that you can imagine about blueberries. Over 200 recipes! A Companion volume to The Blueberry Connection is The Cranberry Connection, another bog adventure which, says the Washington D.C. Star, “includes recipes for such gourmet delights as cranberry shrimp dip, cranberry ham glaze, cranberry mincemeat, and four-fruit chutney.” The Register of Des Moines, Iowa, calls it “a treasure,” and Canadian Living says, “it’s more than a cookbook, it also celebrates [Beatrice Ross Buszek’s Rediscovery of her Maritime roots.”

In the late spring of 1903 Leonidas Hubbard, an ambitious young writer, Dillon Wallace, a forty-year-old New York attorney, and George Elson, an Indian guide with no firsthand knowledge of their destination, set out on an adventure. Beset by delays, the men paddle past their intended route. When in early September they finally glimpse the vast waters of Michikamau from atop an unknown mountain, the cold winds have already begun. With almost no food left, the three begin a desperate struggle against starvation and the quickening pace of a cruel winter, heading homeward in a race for their lives.
