Squirrel pie, succotash and Mulligan stew—just a few of the dishes served up by Canada’s beloved artist Tom Thomson, as we learned from author Angie Littlefield in Tom Thomson’s Fine Kettle of Friends, a biographical adventure that combines history, art and food.

In June 2017, Angie dropped into the Storylines studio to stimulate our insatiable appetites for stories of Tom. We chatted about his Seattle and Toronto connections, and learned little known facts about his Huntsville haunts and the friends who enjoyed his cooking and company in Muskoka.

First Series: WHAT THE DAY DOES NOT KNOW, prequel to ALL THE DAY ALLOWS.

Twenty-year-old Marjory McAllister is running out of time. If she doesn’t act soon, her overbearing aunt will push her into a loveless marriage and small-town life. So, when a handsome stranger calls out for missionaries to northern Africa, the summons seems like an answer to prayer. But Marjory’s storybook notions about missionary service are about to meet with a fierce awakening.

Inspired by true accounts of Canadian missionaries in Nigeria and Ethiopia in the 1930s, ALL THE DAY ALLOWS explores a little-known nugget of Canadian history. In its prequel, WHAT THE DAY DOES NOT KNOW, Marjory must face harsh truths about her own motives.
