A wartime classic about the experiences of the quiet everyman and his family on the British Home Front. George Bunting--businessman, husband, and father--lives a quiet life at home in Laburnam Villa in Essex, reading about the progress of the war in his trusty newspaper and heading to work every day at same the warehouse where he has been employed his entire adult life. Viewed with an air of slight amusement by his three children, Mr. Bunting's war efforts comprise mainly of digging for victory and reluctantly erecting a dugout in the garden. But as World War II continues into the summer of 1940, the Battle of Britain rages in the skies, and the bombs begin to rain down on London, this bumbling everyman is forced to confront the true realities of the conflict. He does so with remarkable stoicism, imbuing him with a quiet dignity. This reprint of a 1941 classic includes an introduction from curators at the Imperial War Museums that puts the work in historical context and sheds light on the wartime experiences of the British Home Front.
Robert Greenwood (1897-1981) was a novelist and writer. He wrote eleven novels, including the popular Mr Bunting series.
