Description
The lives of 3.5 million children were forever changed when war came to England. Ben Wicks tells the story of these evacuees, whose daily routines were upended as they moved from city streets to rural homes. As they navigated their new surroundings, these young people formed lasting bonds with their host families and found ways to cope with the uncertainty of war. This book brings together the adult memories of those who experienced this pivotal moment in history, offering a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century. Through their stories, Wicks sheds light on a period often overlooked in historical accounts, revealing the resilience and adaptability of those who lived through it.
