Inhaltsangabe
Edith Base's letters to her pen pal Phylabe Houston in Greeley, Colorado, are an unwittingly (and perhaps for that reason) fascinating historical document of the day to day life of a Londoner from 1941 to 1947. With great humor and astute observation she explains to her pal how people coped during the war years, describes her patrols as an air raid warden, the darkly humorous social organization of the shelters, and the more mundane life details that simply underscore the eerie "normality" that arises in extraordinary situations. Lacks an index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
