You are my sunshine

by Eileen Fry

Eileen Fry was born in September 1938. One year later, the world changed with the outbreak of the Second World War. This is Eileen's memoir of childhood during World War Two. Food was scarce and many lived with the constant threat of air raids. For a child in wartime Croydon, peace was hard to imagine, but there was still joy to be found in the shadow of war. Eileen began to record her childhood wartime memories after questions from children who were curious about the war years. Her recollections turn back the clock and give us a child's perspective of the war years. Eileen has been published previously by Weidenfeld & Nicholson and The History Press.
