Introduction

This is a project of the National Literacy Secretariat, and the Eastern Shore-Musquodoboit Valley Community Learning Initiative. These stories are intended to assist Level 1 and 2 adult literacy learners and their tutors. Each book of stories has a work book that goes with it. Copies may be made of any material in these books for the purpose of assisting literacy learners. Copyright is held by the Eastern Shore-Musquodoboit Valley Community Learning Initiative. Materials outside the ownership of the CLI and its contractors are used by permission.

These are stories from the Second World War, 1939-1945, and the years that followed. The story-tellers are from, or are now living along, the Eastern Shore and Musquodoboit Valley of Nova Scotia.

The stories reflect the attitudes of the story-tellers, and their times. It is not the intention of the National Literacy Secretariat, or the Community Learning Initiative to give offence to anyone in the telling of these stories.

There are maps either with the stories or at the front of the book.
