Kingfisher Blue Paperback - 1996 by Leela Dutt
First published in 1996, this is an anthology of eight short stories involving fictional contemporary Quakers. The stories are all written in the first person and are told by a wide variety of men and women, often outsiders, ranging in age from 22 to 90. They are set in Canada and Wales, in England and Outer Space.
The opening story is set at a Quaker family camp on Georgian Bay, Canada, which as it turns out is still going strong - so the story may be of special interest to Canadian Quakers. The writer was there with her family forty years ago, and remembers a great deal of sailing mirrors and lasers, swimming from the sandy beach, communal preparation of delicious meals, and singing round the totem pole of an evening, as well as many invitations to stay with Canadian families after the camp finished.
