Publisher Description
t is the summer of 1940 and in Europe the time of Blitzkrieg. John Howard, a 70-year-old Englishman vacationing in France, cuts shorts his tour and heads for home. He agrees to take two children with him.
But war closes in. Trains fail, roads clog with refugees. And if things were not difficult enough, other children join in Howard's little band. At last they reach the coast and find not deliverance but desperation. The old Englishman's greatest test lies ahead of him.
"Extraordinary and gripping...a literary bull's eye." (The Philadelphia Record)
Customer Reviews
Good for me I enjoyed it
I was supposed to have read this book for my O levels some 50 years ago. So better late than never I supposed it’s too late to hand in my homework for my book review now. I wish I had read it back then as I really enjoyed it.
