Book Description The fourteen stories in Newfoundland Stories - The Loss of the Waterwitch & Other Tales by Eldon Drodge comprise a spectrum of characters and events that have helped forge an image of an island, its people, and its culture that is unique and compelling. Heroic deeds, great achievements, hardships and deprivation, disasters, superstitions and customs, as well as the Beothuk saga and the indomitable character of our ancestors, have all contributed to the making of the modern-day Newfoundland and Labrador. Many of these stories are based on actual events that have occurred over hundreds of years, while others are purely fictional yet truly reflective of the uniqueness of the province and its people. About the Author Eldon Drodge began his career as a writer following a thirty-four year career in the computer industry. Born in Little Heart’s Ease, Trinity Bay, he moved to St. John’s at a very early age where he was raised and educated. He had never forgotten his outport roots, and had always maintained a great love for the stories of “olden times."
