Around the Village Green by Dot May Dunn

Around the Village Green by Dot May Dunn

It's 1939 and little Dot May Dunn is playing with her brothers in the quiet lanes of their Derbyshire village. The grown-ups' talk of war means very little to Dot but things are starting to change in the village, for good. When a prisoner of war camp is built close to Dot's village, and a Yankee base is stationed nearby, Dot makes friends with the most unlikely of soldiers. But her friendships are threatened when telegrams start to arrive in the village and the real impact of war bears heavily on this close-knit mining community. From little lives spring great tales. Dot's childhood memoir shares the universals of innocence, love, loss and friendships. AROUND THE VILLAGE GREEN will move and entertain in equal measures.

Around the Village Green is a heart-warming account of author and miner's daughter Dot May Dunn's childhood in a small village in Derbyshire throughout the Second World WarThere are plenty of funny moments... A must-read for anyone who fancies a nostalgic trip down memory lane to those more innocent times. -- Hannah Mears HISTORY OF WAR MAGAZINE
