AS NEW* Illustrations: None.* Pages: 227 pp. text.* Product Description:- Set with great realism in Liverpool and Wales, the story explores the mixture of emotions the children experience, first as the bombs fall and people are killed, next as they face the terrifting prospect of leaving home without their parents and finally as city children adjusting to life in the country. Many adventures and trials await them in Mid Wales. The book captures brilliantly the long lost world of rural wartime Wales, with its candles, oil lamps, Shire horses and insularity. This way of life is one that changed little for centuries but has now completely disappeared.* This is a FINE, AS NEW, copy with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
