59 STORIES, NOVA SCOTIA'S Curious Connections to the Remarkable, the World Famous, and the Strange, by Bruce Nunn, is his fun and lighthearted book that takes the trivial, outlandish, and obscure facts of Nova Scotia, and makes it readable and interesting.

"This enjoyable work is recommended for those interested in gaining a different historical perspective and becoming another “Nova Scotia Know-It-All.”

Nunn, a Nova Scotia native, provides a unique assortment of stories and anecdotes about the province. He also draws many interesting connections between Nova Scotia and the world stage. For example, inspiration for Disney’s Bambi came from a photograph, which hung in the office of Dr. John Loré, of an actual fawn named Bimbo that was tamed and known to local residents. Sir Winston Churchill’s great-great-grandmother, Anna Baker, was born in Nova Scotia in 1761. It was college professor Archibald MacMechan who fostered a renewed interest in the work of Herman Melville, famed author of Moby-Dick. And cartoon characters, including Donald Duck and Superman, owe much of their early success to Nova Scotia."               -Reviewed by Clint MacNeil, CBRA Online.
