SYNOPSIS: In the early hours of September 1, 1939, German troops made their way across the border and into Poland. At the same time, thousands of children in Britain rubbed their eyes and climbed from their beds. Within hours they joined the crocodile lines of young children making their way to the nearest railway station, headed for the "safety" of homes in the country. They were and forever will be known as the "evacuees," part of the greatest movement of people that Britain had ever experienced. Now, for the first time, No Time to Wave Goodbye tells their story-through letters, pictures and the narrative of Ben Wicks, a former evacuee himself. Ben Wicks was born in London's East End in 1926. Wicks, one of Canada's most celebrated cartoonists and journalists, lives in Toronto with his wife, Doreen. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 001104
