Operation Pied Piper was the largest ever transportation of people across Britain, and most of those moved to safety in the countryside were historian Gillian Mawson has spent years collecting the stories of former evacuees and this book includes the personal memories of over 100, in their own words. Their accounts reveal what it was like to settle into a new home with strangers, often staying for years.
