London: Bloomsbury, 1988 0747500835. First edition. First printing. Hardback. Fine/Fine. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original red cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. xi, 228 pages clean and tight. Photographs on plates. Collectible. In the early hours of I September 1939, German troops crossed the border into Poland. At the same time, in Britain, hundreds of thousands of children rubbed their eyes and climbed from their beds. For many it would be years before they climbed back into them. Within hours, in cities all over the country, long crocodiles of children were making their way to the nearest railway station to board trains that would take them to the safety of the countryside. Two days later, in the homes of 'borrowed parents', they listened as an angry Prime Minister told the world that Britain was at war with Germany. The wartime evacuation exercise in Britain was the biggest movement of people the country had ever witnessed. Now, almost 50 years later, those who took part have found a mouthpiece, many of them for the first time. To compile this unique volume of directly reported history, the author, Ben Wicks - who was himself evacuated from London's dockland - placed letters in newspapers around the world asking ex-evacuees to write to him with their own stories. No Time to Wave Goodbye contains the most moving and revealing of these stories. A linking text by Ben Wicks sketches the history of the evacuation from its planning in the aftermath of World War I to the children's return to their mothers and fathers at the end of World War II. Poignant in the extreme, No Time to Wave Goodbye will move even the most hardened reader to tears. It also serves as a permanent record of the experiences of an army of children who, each tagged with a luggage-label and carrying a gas-mask in a brown cardboard box, were sent away from their families and whose lives were changed for ever. The introduction is by Michael Caine who was himself an evacuee in WWII. ., London: Bloomsbury, 1988 0747500835, 0<

No Index at rear.* Within hours of the German invasion of Poland in 1939, children were being evacuated out of the cities into the countryside in a carefully planned operation. For all these children, evacuation was an emotional experience; for some it was deeply traumatic, yet others discovered the pleasure of living in the country and formed lasting friendships. Here, in their own words, are the personal accounts of evacuees, both famous and unknown, written in reponse to advertisements placed in newspapers all over the world. Many of them speak here for the first time and snapshots of the children both then and now are included, as well as letters written by children to their parents in the cities. The introduction is by one-time evacuee Michael Caine and the author himself was also evacuated and brings his own experiences to bear on this exploration of a phenomenon that dramatically changed so many children's lives. A GOOD copy with considerable wear to dust jacket and some pencil inscriptions in Chapters 5 & 6.*, Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 3<
