ANSTEY - A Newfoundland Story




An unforgettable story about an orphan boy and his family living in a small sleepy town in Newfoundland from the turn of the last century to present day. Life was not always easy in these outports. Whether it was the damp, freezing-cold weather known most of the year or a larger-than-life iceberg bearing down on you and your schooner in the middle of the night, this story of an Anstey family in Newfoundland has something for everyone. These are stories of adventure, community, survival, and kindness set in a sometimes cruel and unforgiving environment, chronicling the lives and communities they built to not only protect them from the elements but ensure their own continued survival.
