Raised in Ireland on the knee of great Celtic storytellers, Diana Beresford-Kroeger brings to life pioneer tales of the Rideau Valley, both tall and true. Like the roots of the white oak, the Irish and Scottish Gaels took a strong hold alongside the Rideau River and its tributaries from Westport and Perth to Smiths Falls and Ottawa, clearing the forests, building log barns, and somehow surviving the cold Canadian winter. They kept their spirits up by telling stories that began like ... "Con told Long John who told Johnny Long... " and that were enlivened with sayings like ... "We were all abuzz with one another's company, happy like a flock of laying hens going on about a double yoker." These stories happened out there in the Rideau Valley. Stop and listen, for there is so much more, oh, so much more...
