Doodlebugs, Teddy Boys, air raids, Scout camps, people going missing overnight, magical seaside holidays. This is a marvellously evocative book looking at the 1940s and 50s in a troubled but resilient Britain. The books chief character, Dave, barely survives childhood as he nearly succumbs to whooping cough and scarlet fever. But this isnt just about one boys survival. Its the survival of a country and its many haunting tales as love and disasters unfold for Dave, coming to grips with the loss of his parents and much else besides. Written in easy to follow verse, this is a truly inspiring book.
