Escape from the Blitz

I Was There… is a perfect introduction for younger readers into

stories from the past, allowing children to imagine that they were

really there.

I Was There… Escape From The Blitz is the vividly imagined tale

of young Betty as she is evacuated from her home in London to the

home of the formidable Lady Florence Musgrave. Betty must get used

to life in the country, but she’s got a secret - a furry feline

stowaway named Shadow who has found his way into her suitcase!

Beautifully told, readers aged 7+ will love this charming and exciting

first-hand account of the experiences of an evacuee.
