He has a Milne giveaway on his blog at the moment so just click on his link above if you want to know more. My favourite Blitz book is Vere Hodgson's diary, Few Eggs & No Oranges (Persephone).lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-6005313740894516312011-02-10T09:20:45.828+11:002011-02-10T09:20:45.828+11:00This looks like an amazing book.

I've recently been reading Connie Willis's two book time travel saga which takes us back to the Blitz on kind of an intimate level - with the people on the streets and in the underground tunnels having to endure the nightly barrage. My admiration for the Brits during this time knows no bounds.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-84131689298143409002011-02-07T22:50:37.663+11:002011-02-07T22:50:37.663+11:00Gosh, Lyn, I need to own this.. you should post a ...Gosh, Lyn, I need to own this.. you should post a link for the doves, I think they'd be interested.<br />SimonStuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-52518268353833239492011-02-07T18:59:05.980+11:002011-02-07T18:59:05.980+11:00Darlene, it's the perfect book for you after F...Darlene, it's the perfect book for you after Few Eggs & No Oranges. Hayley, it's the kind of book I'll pick up & browse through when I've just read a book about WWII or I'm just in that Home Front mood. I'm sure you know what I mean! Thank you for tempting me to buy it.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-46636555202945912022011-02-07T04:13:03.544+11:002011-02-07T04:13:03.544+11:00I can see that this will have to be added to my wi...I can see that this will have to be added to my wishlist. The first picture with the tea cups made me laugh but the last picture is quite poignant.
