So wrote Thomas Raddall at the age of eighteen, not dreaming that many years later Sable Island - that "hell on earth" - would provide a romantic background for one of his greatest novels, The Nymph and the Lamp.
Traumatized by the horror of the great Halifax Explosion of 1917, followed in a few months by the death of his father in battle overseas, Tom was forced to leave school at the age of fourteen.
