Product Description
Book Description
A collection of letters and stories sent to Westall following the publication of his children's novel, "The Machine Gunners". The letters were from people who really were the "children of the Blitz" for whom air raids, bombs, gas masks, and evacuations were both hair-raising and exciting.

Memories of children in Britain during World War II, Jan 1 2008
By Gary Selikow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Children Of The Blitz: Memories Of Wartime Childhood (Paperback)
In this volume Robert Westall compiles a wartime diary of the reminiscences of those who were children in Britain during World War II, during the German blitz of Britain.Letters and diary entries of boys and girls aged 5 to 17 add information about a variety of aspects of life for the young in Britain during this time from children who witnessed and lived through the bombings in London and other cities, the food rationing, the separation of children from their families and homes sent from the cities into the country.
Other accounts reflect young boys collecting ammunition from downed German planes and bombshells, the mischief of children billeted together in country homes, hotels and schools and the fear of the dark experienced by a little girl after having been told by her mother that the Germans would get her if she did not behave.
