Series Finale Launches Uncle Farley's False Teeth

A fish with borrowed teeth? Uncle Farley's False Teeth, is the hilarious story of D'Arcy, her friends, and their quest to get Uncle Farley's dentures back from a particularly cunning fish.

Children's writer Alice Walsh will launch this, her newest book, at Haliburton House Museum, Windsor, on Sunday, Sept. 13, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The author's zany humour in the story, written for kids ages four and older, is complemented by the wonderful illustrations of Michael Martchenko.

Ms. Walsh will read Uncle Farley's False Teeth, and everyone is invited to bring their copy to have it signed by the author. Copies of the book, published by Annick Press of Toronto, will be available for sale on site.

Children are invited to bring their parents to listen to the story and then join the author in the tent for refreshments. Ms. Walsh will be available to answer questions related to her books and writing stories for children.

Walsh is a freelance writer and creative writing instructor. She lives in Sackville with her husband, Dennis, and two children.

Her stories have been published in the Atlantic Advocate, Nose to Nose, and in the Children's Writers Workshop Collection of Shivers in Your Night Shirt (Nimbus). Ms. Walsh also penned Something is Wrong with Kayla's Mother (Pottersfield Press). Her work in progress is a young adult novel, A Promise of Calm Seas.

Ms. Walsh is the final author to appear in the museum's summer authors' series, which brought the works of six Nova Scotia writers to a Windsor audience. Haliburton House Museum, a part of the Nova Scotia Museum, was once the home of Judge Thomas Chandler Haliburton, a gifted Nova Scotian author in the first half of the 1800s.
