A collection of short stories set in the late l950's / early 1960's and based upon the Author's own family whilst living in South Queensferry on the Southern shore of the River Forth. The stories are all beautifully written with the characters brought alive in a colourful and authentic manner. With his usual flair Mr. Gisby has managed to create a compilation of tales to warm and touch the heart of the reader. The tales contain depth, humour and pathos, and as always his characters generate compassion in the reader whilst they hold the interest from page to page. A nice added touch is the fact that most of them re-appear in the different stories and it's not until one has almost finished reading that one realises there is a continuing story-thread running throughout. Equally entertaining as a whole read or as individual reads, this is a most delightful book to add to anyone's bookshelf, and is to be especially enjoyed when curled up in the warm on a Winter's evening. This is the third book of Brendan Gisby's to be published this year, following the publication of The Island of Whispers and The Olive Branch, and we hope to be seeing much more of what this most skilful and talented of Authors has to offer.

The purpose of this rich and innovatively presented ethnography is to explore mobility, sense of place and time on the British Columbia coast. On the basis of almost 400 interviews with ferry passengers and over 250 ferry journeys, the author narrates and reflects on the performance of travel and on the consequences of ferry-dependence on island and coastal communities. Ferry Tales inaugurates a new series entitled Innovative Ethnographies for Routledge (innovativeethnographies.net). The purpose of this hypermedia book series is to use digital technologies to capture a richer, multimodal view of social life than was otherwise done in the classic, print-based tradition of ethnography, while maintaining the traditional strengths of classic, ethnographic analysis.

The three largest ferry systems of North America, those of Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, stretch end-to-end in the Northwest. Their vessels carry millions of commuters every year, from city to island, from island to island, and from one water highway to the next. Along these inland corridors are hundreds of communities that depend upon ferries for their existence. This dependency has given birth to the ferry tale. Ferries provide more than a stage for these tales. The ferry becomes a character in the dramas, large and small, from tragedy to comedy, to the foibles of daily living. Birth, death, nature, history, memory, and love are all here, along with lost keys, six dachshunds loose on a car deck, and a guardian mermaid. This collection is not so much about ferries as it is about journeys all of us take. Through its passages the ferry emerges as a metaphor for life itself.

In 1976 a simple real estate transaction affected my life forever. "Brown's Cabins" on the North Fork of Long Island became "Hellenic Cabins & Snack Bar." My father, a Greek immigrant, poured his efforts into the Snack Bar portion of the business. Unaware of his incredible, gifted palate, he created a landmark restaurant, by accident, in the middle of nowhere; a business affected by the cross migration of travelers using the ferry terminal at the end of the island. "Ferry Tales" is about a seed planted over thirty years ago grown into a bonsai tree, groomed by the evolution of its clients, trained by a business that is either a madhouse or empty, rooted in Greek culture, potted in a region that bears the geographic uniqueness of the Garden of Eden, and nurtured by a gateway across America. It is based on comical, real events, belabored by the stresses of a successful family business, and fixed in the history and culture of a unique area, poised as the next great wine region of America.

On a bright and sunny Fourth of July day in 1976, an eighty-year-old snack bar became the Hellenic Snack Bar, situated in the middle of the greatest potato farming region on the east coast of the United States. Fast-forward to 2016, and the same family-owned 250-seat Hellenic Snack Bar & Restaurant stands at the tail-end of the three thousand acres of grapes that traded places with the potatoes. The focus on wine has changed the rural landscape dramatically. Owner George Giannaris shares the history of the restaurant, recipes, comical short stories and his philosophical insights.
