A mysterious air-raid shelter...
A plane crash under fire...
A secret operation...
A noise in the attic...

The four stories featured in Blitz share a common theme – World War II and its effect on the lives of ordinary people, especially children.

Robert Westall’s powerful writing focuses not only on the drama and danger of living in a country at war, but also captures the heady excitement and almost farcical humour of exceptional circumstances.

Review:

“Brilliant... grips you like a Spitfire’s safety harness and comes to a halt a heartbeat before you’d prefer.”
books for keeps

“Westall captures the real essence of wartime childhood... a sense of excitement – both fearful and fun – of ordinary life lived at the edge of danger.”
times educational supplement

From the Back Cover:

Four stories of wartime childhood, read by James Bolam and Susan Jameson.

A mysterious air-raid shelter . . .
A plane crash under fire . . .
A secret operation . . .
A noise in the attic

The four stories featured on this tape explore the effects of World War II on the lives of ordinary people, especially children.

All the startling facts are from Robert Westall's own experience, or well-documented accounts of the time. Written especially for audio just before the author's death, this is a welcome return for this unique collection of powerful stories.

"Brilliant . . . grips you like a Spitfire's safety harness and comes to a halt a heartbeat before you'd prefer."
BOOKS FOR KEEPS
