Reviews

’Fisher’s thoughtful analysis confronts the moral dilemmas posed by Canada’s involvement in the war, includes dissident voices, considers the production and reception of texts, and includes young people’s voices through the letters they wrote to various childern’s magazines.... A well researched book that will act as a foundation for future scholarship.’
*Journal of the History of Childhood & Youth, vol 5:02:2012*

‘Many books have been written about Canada and the Great War, but few are as good as this one…Fisher has written a fascinating account of the ways in which children were influenced through education, fiction, and propaganda, to support the war effort.’
