The author received thousands of letters, many from ex-evacuees, who on reading the book had laughed and wept as they relived something of their own past. They thanked him from the bottom of their hearts – and begged for more. \n\nThis further collection of memories contains stories from some of Britain’s 3.5 million evacuees during the Second World War. This beautiful volume is illustrated with 200 poignant photographs, along with personal mementoes, many from the evacuees themselves. \n\n\u003cb\u003eTold in their own words, these stories of evacuees are hugely diverse – often funny, often sad, and always moving. \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54225928290648,"sku":"9780747506638","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/day-they-took-the-children","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
