Beach Reading

Christian, is an eloquently wry and precocious university drop-out, who has never savoured the wonders of women or alcohol. A naturalist raised in central Canada, he arrives on PEI for a summer job in Barrisway National Park, and sets up camp on the beach. Lorne Elliott gloriously conjures the mischief and zaniness, the lovable rascals and lamentable rogues, of Island life behind the tourist posters. He deftly evokes the kindness and camaraderie of Islanders, and the Island's high-spirited revelry. Lorne Elliot has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, foolish and uplifting. Canadian author.
