Featured book o' the week

'Blitz' is the incredible and moving story of one family but also of all those who lived through the second world war, who experienced the Blitz. Author, Martin Impey's family did, and this book is based on the stories that they have told him as well as the stories of many other families. See the Blitz as never before, with gentle yet incredibly evocative and detailed illustrations which present the information but do so gently for the book's audience.

​

Follow the story as the memories of the brother and sister, who watched as their world changed around them, unfold across the pages. From the outbreak of the war, to waving their father off as he leaves to fight, to nightly runs into the air raid shelters and not knowing if they would have a home in the morning, despite the horror this book is filled with a spirit of determination and celebration as we watch all those people who stayed calm and carried on. This book is breathtaking.
