Product Overview
Days of Apprehension and Adventure: Experiences of Scottish Child Evacuees During World War II
by Mattie Turnbull
Sparked by a serendipitous discussion at a dinner party in late 2005 in Perth, Western Australia, this novel explores the phenomenon of the World War II Evacuation. The guests talking with the author were both of Scottish origin and were evacuees themselves. Since the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII, interest in the experiences of ordinary people had gained momentum. Those who had been evacuees indicated that they would be delighted to tell their stories, and the die was cast.
