Spit Delaney's Island is Vancouver Island, and its settings the lush green forests, the pulp mills, the all-encompassing sea, and the ferries crossing to the mainland permeate this stunning collection of short fiction. Opening and closing with stories about Spit Delaney himself, the operator of Old Number One steam locomotive in the local mill, the volume travels between the harsh world of its people's reality and the comforts of their fantasies. Humane and compassionate,Spit Delaney's Island, the first collection of fiction from Jack Hodgins, established him as a writer of extraordinary imagination and dazzling humour.

- 1***f (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived as described and well packaged too. My apologies Dean for not responding by email and thank you for sending this wonderful book. I lived on Vancouver Island in 1978 and just seeing Nanoose Bay on the packet made me smile! Thank you
- 0***u (30)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book ordered was sent in a timely fashion and packaged with care. It was backed with cardboard to help prevent damage during shipping. The book it's self is in excellent condition and exceeds expectations. All of this is worthy of a good review but the best part of dealing with tideland books is their business integrity. They honored a price that was a typo (to my benefit) without hesitation. I will be buying from them in the future.Mauser M98 & M96: How to Build Your Favorite Custom Rifle by Ronald A Walsh (#165962496302)
