Inhaltsangabe

On 1 September, 1939, 175 children, teachers and helpers from Millfields Junior School in Clapton arrived in the Hertfortshire village of High Wych, as evacuees of the London Blitz. Ria Booth tells the story of her war years, from eight to thirteen years old, evoking both village life in a former, more rural England, and the terror and sacrifice of living in a London besieged by bombs.

‘A heart-warming account of a bucolic childhood, passed between London’s East End and the English countryside. Though war occasionally intervenes, the memories are fond ones.’
