In The Courtship we meet characters from the very young to the elderly who seem uncannily familiar to us in their pain, delight, and love. In "The Dress" a child's birthday party turns into a bizarre psychodrama. In "The Courtship" seventy-seven-year-old Mrs. Knickle romantically pursues eighty-year-old Mr. VanBuskirk with some hesitation, however, as she has come to enjoy her afternoons of peanut butter sandwiches and reading. And in "Elliot's Daughter" a writer, not only unrequited in love but unpublished, confesses his frustrations to his diary.

Duff and his best friend Simon do everything together--they get chickenpox together, miss school together, and now that they're mostly better, they convalesce together.
Convalescing to them means spending the day in the playground acting out Jack the Giant Killer, a play they've seen on TV. But when a neighbour looks out the window to see one truant boy chasing another with a sword, she immediately thinks the worst. Soon the police and ambulance are on the scene, and the whole neighborhood is in an uproar.
Duff the Giant Killer is a lively, humorous tale that traces the effects of too-vivid imaginations, in children and adults alike. (199804)

Angus’ family is musical. Everyone has their own instrument and everyone knows how to make music. But Angus can only hum along to his family’s playing, and humming isn’t good enough. Angus wants to join his family’s orchestra.
When Angus’ father tells him the family will give him an instrument, he can’t choose until he hears the fiddle at a ceilidh. But fiddling is hard; he can’t make the music he wants. With patience, practice, and lots of lessons, Angus’ fingers learn how to play, and the music inside him finds a way out.
Budge Wilson’s story will ring true for every young musician and is a fitting tribute to the music makers of Cape Breton.
