Sally and Janet in London

Dr. Graham takes the girls to see Aunt Carol, who has crossed the ocean with her Canadian husband and is living in London. But the girls get lost in the city. Dr. Graham was sent overseas during WWII as part of the Massachusetts General Hospital Army Base No. 6, at age thirty-three. He departed from home in May, 1942, when Janet was three years old and Sally would be turning two. During the years until he returned in March of 1945 he wrote the Chronicle Letters to the adults back home, but also wrote and illustrated a series of short books for the children. In these stories he pretends that the two little girls are joining him in various activities.
