The Michael Cook Papers, First Accession and Second Accession
Michael Cook rapidly built a reputation in the 1970s as a playwright of Newfoundland life. Although not born on the island, he soon became better known than such writers as Al Pittman and Ted Russell. Four full-length plays (Colour the Flesh the Colour of Dust; The Head, Guts and Sound Bone Dance; Jacob's Wake; and The Gayden Chronicles) and six one-act plays (Tiln; Quiller; On the Rim of the Curve; Therese's Creed; The Fisherman's Revenge; and the unpublished Not as a Dream) were staged between 1971 and 1978. He is also the outstanding Canadian radio dramatist of his generation, with over fifty plays. As an essayist, his columns for the St. John's Evening Telegram enhance his interpretation of what defines Newfoundland and examine the big issues of Canadian culture.

Redstone Station
Alice Wilson is happy to be returning home to Redstone Station after two years at Ag College. On various placements at farms and stations during her college days she's been shocked by some of the attitudes to women. By contrast, her grandfather Sam has always treated her as an equal. For his part, Sam is delighted to have his granddaughter back on board. In shaping Alice he and his wife tried to avoid the mistakes they made bringing up her mother, Lara, and Alice has more than lived up to their expectations, graduating from college with flying colours. Sam now sees Alice as the key to taking Redstone Station into a successful future. Exceptionally hard - working, with an instinctive understanding of animals and a natural aptitude for farming, Alice is determined to justify her grandfather's faith in her. But will the arrival of stockman Jeremy, a good - looking larrikin with a bad boy reputation, throw her - and the path of Redstone Station - off track? In the tradition of Fleur McDonald and Nicole Alexander, this inspirational outback novel is the story of a woman who'll do everything to preserve her family's proud farming heritage.
