| Them Times |
| David Weale |
"Within living memory a revolution has occurred in
the green and gentle countryside of Prince Edward
Island. Over the past few decades the changes have
been so profound that the recent past is now referred
to by many as 'them times'."
Based on the popular local CBC Radio series of the
same name, Them Times is a collection of historical
vignettes depicting Prince Edward Island before and
after what some folklorists call "the break," that
early post-World War ll period when the twentieth
century seemed to hit the Island all at once. David
Weale combines anecdotal reminiscences of
Islanders with some of his own musing and
observations of a way of life that has all but
disappeared.
This is the fourth in a series of publications produced
by the Institute of Island Studies at the University of
Prince Edward Island.
