Description

The Village that Loves Oysters is a children's picture book that describes the quaint PEI village of Tyne Valley, and its odd obsession with Malpeque oysters. As the story goes, "the villagers eat oysters for breakfast and dinner and lunch, and on hot summer days they drink oyster-laced punch!". The villagers get even more oyster-crazed at the onset of the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival, for which the story is written to commemorate. It will be launched during the 50th anniversary of the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival this summer.
