Summary: | A fictional account of the life of Marguerite de la Roque, who was marooned on an unknown island in Atlantic Canada in 1542; it is believed by some to be Fogo Island, Newfoundland. The story takes significant licence with the known facts. (Kathleen M. Winter, "Roque, Marguerite de la," Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, vol. 4, p. 634-5.) Periodical covers have been included with many of the digitized articles whether they relate to them or not. Extra pages not part of the article in question may also be present.
