Description
Once again northern Canada's best-known storyteller takes us on a tour of the town of New Totem on the "Vast Northern Prairie." We meet again with the Trotter family and their friends in this second book of tall tales based on growing up in the Peace River country. A hilarious collection of nineteen short stories, The Ice Cream Bucket Effect makes you wish you were there to share in Ma Trotter's good home cooking and in the misadventures of young Fudgie and his cohorts.
Contributor Notes
On October 8, 1977, Richard Thompson and Margaret Spicer were married in the small town of New Totem on the western edge of the Vast Northern Prairie. The next day they hitched a ride to Prince George on Cindy-Lou Pratt's tour bus. They've been there ever since. Richard now earns his living creating and telling tales - short ones and tall ones.
