This book of reminiscences about Christmas during World War II will be of interest to both those who lived through those years and their children and grandchildren who will have heard stories about their experiences.
The tales are told in a conversational manner as if all the participants are sitting together discussing their memories.
The cover is distinctive and eye catching. The laughter and happiness on the faces of the family toasting Christmas from their air raid shelter may seem a bit over the top - I need to read the entire book to learn how families still managed to enjoy life during those years of privation and uncertainty.
