Johnson, in addition to his own essay. ***Near fine in mauve cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Boards clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Pages clean without any foxing. With photographic illustrated endpapers showing a railway platform full of evacuees. The poem: 'The Evacuees' by Norman Nicholson appears at the beginning of the book. ***In a very good green, monochrome illustrated dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, showing the original publisher's price of 42/- net. Edges of dustwrapper just slightly rubbed and creased, mainly at the head and tail of the spine. Light vertical crease to the back panel of the dustwrapper near the spine. Bottom corner of front flap slightly creased. Rubbing to the corners and edges of the dustwrapper. The colour is completely unfaded which is quite unusual for this title. Dustwrapper bright. **224mm x 146mm. 287 pages including selective bibliography plus acknowledgments page at the back of the book. ***'Four million children were evacuated in Britain at some time or another during the second world war. All of them must, to varying degrees, have been marked by their experiences - experiences that were, at times, both unpleasant and most disturbing. The Evacuees consists of thirty-three accounts by a random sample of those children. Some have become well-known; others are unknown to the general public; but the way evacuation affected them all is evident from what they write. ***This book is not history, though Mr. Johnson in his introduction places evacuation in its historical context - the facts and figures are themselves appalling. The accounts in the book are personal and subjective. It is a truism that anyone can write well about his childhood: when that childhood includes evacuation, the quality of writing from people who do not primarily consider themselves writers can be very high indeed, as more than a few pieces in this book confirm. ***Not all the contributions are in the form of reminiscences. There are extracts from novels and poems and a letter written at the age of fifteen by a boy to his parents who had threatened to evacuate him and his sister to Australia. Not everyone was evacuated within Britain: some tell of what it was like to be sent to Australia or Canada or the U.S.A.' (Quote from blurb to inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***A second impression of the true first edition, which was issued just a month after the first impression, complete in its original dustwrapper in unusually nice condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Codice articolo 8215
