Dictionary of Newfoundland and Labrador

”A wonderful educational tool for travellers and students to learn about our cultural evolution…”
—Melanie Martin, Historian and Vice President of the Newfoundland Historical Society

It has taken a decade to compile this incredible collection of language and folklore. This unique reference book combines definitions with illustrations, pronunciations and clever turns of phrases that reflect the colour and rhythm of the style of English commonly used in this province. The author, Ron Young, designed this to be much more than a dictionary—it is a guide to understanding the language and the people of England’s oldest colony.
