Summary of War Boy: A Wartime Childhood
This special new edition of the much-loved autobiographical picture book about World War II touches on life during wartime with humor, candor, and factual information. The author recreates childhood in Suffolk with his family during the war, including one of his earliest memories of an incendiary bomb which landed in his room and missed him by inches. A rare book that blends factual information with an exciting and wonderful story, this is a stunning and sophisticated story to which readers will return time and time again.
