The Deer Yard and Other Stories

A slice of CanadianaTom Mahoney grew up on a small family farm in Johnville New Brunswick. Despite a lack of modern conveniences such as running water and electricity he wouldnt have had it any other way. Toms was a world of natural beauty; of soft and lonely quiet. Life was never dull. His active imagination was nourished by ghosts and demons intrepid priests drunken neighbours redneck bullies frightened deer angry bears wannabe circus dogs and plenty of shenanigans. From these seeds great stories grew. Drawing on his own experiences and those of his family - his father was also a gifted storyteller - Toms humorous and touching tales spanning decades brim with colour and authenticity.
