Intended as a salute to the best in locally crafted short fiction, The Cuffer Prize was launched in March 2008 and attracted nearly 200 entries from across the province. The Cuffer Anthology contains the best of those entries. This is a collection of stories to be savoured and remembered. Readers will thrill at the writing talent that abounds in Newfoundland and Labrador. At the same time, they will be contributing to a wonderful cause: a portion of the proceeds from this book have been earmarked for Literacy Newfoundland and Labrador.
