Whatever Happened to Maggie by Edna Staebler PDF

“Maggie Ingraham is leaving her home in Neil’s Harbour, the secluded little fishing village down north on the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton. She is leaving the sea, the broad sky, and the highlands to get a job in Toronto. Maggie has never been farther than Sydney, a hundred-odd miles away. She is little and lively and twenty and she wants to see the world.”

It was the summer of 1951 when Edna Staebler wrote the story of Maggie’s departure from home, what it meant to her, and how it affected her family. But - whatever happened to Maggie? Most journalists would not have bothered to find out, but Edna Staebler cared enough to go back and ask, thirty years later. In fact, she has found out what happened to everyone in every piece in this collection of fourteen articles selected from her long, successful career.

Edna Staebler’s award-winning articles have graced the pages of Maclean's, Saturday Night, Chatelaine, and The Star Weekly and have made her one of Canada’s best-loved journalists. The fourteen articles collected here span nearly twenty years of her career and present a colourful collage of communities and people from across the country. From the enchanting villages on the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon to the dining room of a Mennonite household in Ontario, from the swordfishing community of Neil’s Harbour on Cape Breton Island to the canals and waterways of Quebec, Staebler gives warm, incisive accounts of people and cultures steeped in local tradition and history. And for each piece the author has written an introduction explaining how it came about, and a conclusion describing what has happened to the people she wrote about.


“I stand in awe of Edna Staebler, for I know of no other writer in this country who can capture the flavour of speech and character as she can. She has the greatest of all gifts - an ear for the cadence of language; and her ear is true” - Pierre Berton

A select volume presenting fourteen memorable examples of Edna Staebler’s unique gift for capturing the heart of places and people - people like Maggie Ingraham of Neil’s Harbour, Jacob Wurtz of the Old Elm Hutterite Colony, Mme Dutin of Saint Pierre, Bevvy Martin of the Old Order Mennonites, Alda Pilli of Toronto, Rollande Normandeau of Donnacona, Rose Wheatley of Wawa, Irma Dufour of Ile-aux-Coudres, Leah Keupfer of the Old Order Amish community, Sylvanus General of The Six Nations, and many more wonderful people from the charming corners of Canada and beyond.

This volume was later published under the title "Places I've Been & People I've Known", with all royalties from it being donated to the Mennonite Central Committee, Kitchener, Ontario.
