Graham Inward was only three years old when war broke out in September 1939. Many of his memories of living through the war years in his home in Harringay, North London, remain incredibly vivid. After his father’s death, he discovered 36 letters, most written between himself and his father during his evacuation periods. These letters not only sparked very personal, isolated, and interesting recollections of living through the Second World War as a child, but also led to personal discoveries about his relationship with his father that he will always treasure. Peppered with photographs, letters, drawings, and school reports—and with a fitting Foreword by actor/presenter Nicholas Parsons—this book will not only evoke reminiscences in those who have shared his wartime experiences, but will also provide a fascinating insight and an educational experience to those of us fortunate enough not to have lived through those terrifying years.
