Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. No DJ issued. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 205, [3] pages. Illustrations. Stiff card covers have front and back flaps. Rich MacAlpine is a retired history teacher who has been the editor of Yates Past, the bimonthly publication of the Yates County History Center in Penn Yan, New Yo…rk since 2008. When war was declared in September 1939, everyday life for British citizens changed almost overnight. At the time, Winifred Graville of Sheffield, a gardener, writer and speaker well known in her local area, wrote a series of letters to her American cousin in Penn Yan, New York, describing the hardships and typical daily struggles her city experienced during the Blitz. At a time when American public opinion was strictly isolationist, Winifred's cousin convinced the editor of a local newspaper to publish excerpts from 150 letters in the hope of influencing public opinion in a small way. In Letters from the Blitz, Richard MacAlpine has gathered the published letters into a fascinating collection. At times poignant, often humorous, and always beautifully written and full of detail, Winifred's letters clearly illustrate the âKeep Calm and Carry On' attitude of the British people during that difficult time and provide an insight into wartime life.
