  • "This is a compelling and uplifting memoir of two young evacuees growing up in the countryside during the Second World War."@en
  • "It is June 13th, 1940. Terry, aged seven, and his elder brother Jack, eleven, have been evacuated from London to a tiny village in Cornwall. The woods and river become their playground, but it is the railway, above all, which delights them. The sons of a railwayman, No. 7 the Railway Cottages seems the perfect new home. And despite fierce rivalry between local kids and the evacuees, village life seems wonderful to the boys. That is, until the bombing of nearby Plymouth and dreadful news from the battlefield shatter the peace of Doublebois, reminders of the brutal reality of a war which at times had seemed so far away."
