Reflections on a Toronto Childhood
By Lorraine O'Donnell Williams
In this rare combination of history and memoir, Lorraine O'Donnell Williams details life within Toronto's Beach community in the 1930s and '40s from the vantage point of her front verandah that abutted the boardwalk. Her extensive research has uncovered numerous little publicized facets of the heritage of this exceptional neighbourhood, including the stories of what was in its time one of North America's most remarkable amusement parks, the elegant dance hall, and how the area escaped becoming a railway corridor.
