Rarely has the Second World War entered the public imagination or been depicted as it is here-through the eyes of the children living in areas targeted during the Blitz and evacuated to every corner of the UK. Their stories are poignant chronicles of the ways in which British families dealt with this crisis, of how wildly the treatment of evacuees varied, and of how life-long friendships and a new understanding between urban and rural Britons flourished under the threat of the German bombs. The hardships of living hand-to-mouth, of not knowing whether your house would still be standing when you returned from the shelters, or whether your loved ones were safe, were a part of everyday life. Children's Voices of the Second World War is a collection of memoirs which will enlighten modern readers as to how this young generation coped with the indiscriminate upheaval of the war. Most, if not all, of these children were thankful for what little they had, chiefly concerned with looking after their siblings during evacuation and being reunited with their mothers and fathers. Their appreciation of those fighting to defend them and of those who showed them kindness and compassion shine through these pages, as does their own, courageous spirit.
