Growing Up in Wartime Britain 1939-1945 presents the memoirs of an 8-year-old boy who, on the day war was declared, saw a German bomber fly up from the sea in Sussex, turn round and fly back again out to sea. In 1945 he watched in Albert Square, Manchester, as Winston Churchill was cheered and applauded by huge crowds on VE Day. Between those two events we learn the remarkable story of a family that achieved great things behind the scenes to support the war effort, reaching a high level of fulfilment in the process. As well as those leading characters we hear the stories of others, such as that of the boy who was to sail to Canada on a ship carrying British evacuees but he was too late - only to hear later that the vessel was torpedeod in the North Atlantic by a German U-Boat; or of the girl whose father served in the Merchant Navy and was shipwrecked off the west coast of Africa. They received no news for 18 months. Illustrations include a photograph of Princess and Prince Philip during their engagement. Growing Up in Wartime Britain is an intriguing piece of social history, not previously recorded.

Rhianna is living with her grandmother in a small village at the edge of the Perilous Forest, hidden deep in the Summer Country, remote from all the turmoil of post-Roman Britain, where the Bear, King Arthur, is battling rebellious war lords, west and east, to bring order and safety to his people. Rhianna thinks of herself as an ordinary village girls, enjoying life with her animal friends in her paradise Forest, although sometimes she thinks she remembers another life in a great stone hall or is she just dreaming, as her grandmother insists? Rhianna seems to be surrounded by mysteries that her enigmatic grandmother, healer and wise woman of the village will not explain. And what of her absent mother, who never visits? As Rhianna grows older, exploring and learning, she realises that her skills are not ordinary at all and can be very dangerous. Does she really want to be a healer too, or is there something else she must discover? This is the story of a young woman with a secret heritage growing up in a shattered world of good and evil, and the choices she must make.
