Saint John: Facts and Folklore

The 190-page book is a series of vignettes and brief articles often a single sentence rather than a history. Goss needs to fire his editor as the book is littered with spelling mistakes and contains boners such as the plague marking the Trafalgar Stairs and a suburb performance. The resulting gaffs have a comedic effect that may not be the intended approach. Many of the allusions are probably of more interest to native Saint Johners than to outsiders such as this reader.
