My Warwickshire Wartime 1939-1945
Gill Thomas
At the outset of World War II many children were evacuated from the big cities into the countryside to avoid the threat of bombing. Gill was lucky to leave Birmingham to stay with her Granny Emett who lived in the small Warwickshire village of Halford. What follows is a sharply observed account; a child’s eye view of wartime years in rural England, including detailed, poignant and sometimes hilarious memories of her life as a boarder at the Croft School, Stratford on Avon, throughout the war. Gill’s Uncle was the famous wartime cartoonist, Rowland Emett of Punch magazine, and some of his unique drawings add to the lavish illustrations of this evocative book.
