This is a revised version (by the same author) of the 1948 edition of this young adult novel.
Publisher's blurb: "A tale of young love along the coast of Newfoundland Island and 'down on the Labrador.' A romance that was saved by a big beautiful and intelligent Newfoundland dog."
Newfoundland Island, it should be noted, was a separate Canadian province until 2001, when it was combined with the mainland province of Labrador. That single combined province is now officially known as "Newfoundland and Labrador."
