Pat Francis's childhood was shaped by the Luftwaffe raids on London during WWII. In this delightful collection of poems she draws on her memories of nights in the air-raid shelter, and on the history of West Ham and Bethnal Green, — poverty, weavers, music hall, poets in Epping Forest. The poems are gathered into four groups: Some Londoners, Blitz, Five Victorian Vignettes, and In the Forest.
The poems are accompanied by eight line drawings by Jane Colling evoking memories of London in the past.
