BLACKIE'S SPIT, Stories by W.B. MacDonald, is filled with tales of an actual place (a park in Surrey, BC, also know as Crescent Beach), but they are of an imaginary place in the authors mind. These stories tell of fiction, and not history or memoir, although the author states, "I have to admit that I wish they had actually happened."
