This book makes for a fascinating read, consisting of the personal accounts of four contributors - men and women who were child evacuees during the Second World War. Together with information on the evacuation programme including why it was needed, the book provides details on the new homes the evacuees went to, their lives there, and the eventual return to their families at the end of the war. It takes an intriguing look at the new way of life experienced by the contributors in wartime Britain. It is complete with colour and black and white photographs, a glossary and an index.
