Anita Best was born in a small fishing village with the fairytale name of Merasheen, in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, just before circumstances contrived to bring her native country into union with Canada.

On both sides of the family there were wonderful singers of old ballads, tragic sea songs and comical ditties
