Description
Bombs and Blackberries is an illustrated play set in World War Two, written by Julia Donaldson. When the Chivers children are sent to the countryside for their safety, they're initially delighted to be brought back home when it seems the Germans won't invade. However, the air-raid siren goes off again, this time making it all too real.
This play brings Manchester during the Second World War and its people to life, providing a range of opportunities for school classes to explore historical and literacy topics in an engaging way. The book also includes helpful tips on staging and costume, making it perfect for class reading and performance.
