About the author

Although her first short story was published when she was only 19, and she wrote most of her life, Joyce C. Barkhouse did not have a full-length book published until she was a grandmother.

Her love of Nova Scotia and her concern for the "forgotten" are reflected in her writings. She was the author of many short stories and articles which have been published in anthologies, school textbooks and periodicals, in Canada and the United States. She talked to thousands of school children and toured Manitoba, Ontario and Prince Edward Island, sponsored by the Canada Council and the Canandian Children's Book Centre. Adult work included The Lorenzen Collection (Nova Scotia ceramic mushrooms) and For Mothers and Others, a weekly column in Nova Scotia newspapers (1973-76).

Joyce Barkhouse's working papers and related materials have been donated to the Dalhousie University Archives (1960-1998).
