This second volume of Bill MacDonald´s "best of" short stories begins by Mosquito Creek with the story of Aunt Leone and her irresistible raspberry plantation that attracts some very special visitors; we meet the soothsayers, extraordinary clairvoyant Aunt Sibyl and Alexa of Winnipeg; discover Uncle Sol and Harvey´s suspicious friendship; the Valdemar brothers from Denmark settle in Bornholm Bay, Lake Superior, melt snow to drink, and build a magnificent duplex; meet Grandpa and Grandma Oldfield; tour Paipoonge Township; paddle about Crystal Lake; speed through the night on the back roads of Scoble Townships without brakes or lights; meet sensuous Yvette and Noelle, prostitutes who treat writer´s block in Toronto. Most of these poignant and humourous short stories are set in the homes, yards, farms, beaches, and in creeks and caves around Thunder Bay, Ontario.
