Publisher's Synopsis
The outbreak of War in 1941 led to young children being evacuated to towns where there was less likelihood of being subject to bombing by Hitler's Luftwaffe. Twins Catherine and Caroline and their younger brother Robert board a train at Euston Station, London, which takes them to the town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire. The twins enrol in the Women's Land Army while Robert is called up to join the Army. Catherine and Caroline are involved in an encounter with a German pilot, who escapes into Sherwood Forest after his aircraft is destroyed by anti-aircraft guns, ends with him being captured by the Britain's Military Police. The awful conditions faced by evacuees during the war are described in detail in this thought-provoking story.
