Summary:
Originally written for a Christmas concert given by internationally-renowned children's choir Shallaway,
Bernice
Morgan
's Seasons Before the War is a delightful, unsentimental remembrance of growing up in St. John's, Newfoundland just before the city, and the world, changed irrevocably with the advent of WWII. This slightly fictionalized telling explores the delights of every day and of each season: how

Charged with the bright wonder of a child's view, the book nevertheless contains the shadow of change; although mentioned only in the book's title, war and its implications for
childhood
hang quietly over all.
