Description

This funny, fascinating journal follows the development of a boy and his changing attitudes during WW II from its outbreak in September 1939 to victory in the summer of 1945.

It is a memoir based on the original letters - around a hundred and ninety in total - written by the author to his parents and carefully preserved over the years.

There are also several contemporary photographs. He was an only child and full of his own selfish needs, vanity, hypochondria, prejudices and unquestioning patriotism.

The letters carry strong echoes of 'Just William' and 'Adrian Mole' - 'Health and Safety' was nowhere in sight!

There is also a wealth of information about childhood games, hobbies, mock battles, sport, school life and wartime concerns.
