The Adventures of Diana and Harry
Diana and Harry Foster were evacuee children of World War II, their lives disrupted like many thousands of young people. Sent away from London to be cared for in a small Yorkshire village, they adapted well - they had no choice. When their father was reported as missing, presumed dead, and their mother badly injured in a bombing raid, their world was turned upside down.
Together they braved a long journey to start a new life in Canada, in the care of their aunt. Their fascinating story runs parallel with a pocket-size account of the war which Harry follows avidly as he listens to reports on the radio.
We follow the children's exciting adventures as they capture a German pilot on Ilkley Moor, get lost in a snowstorm to be eventually rescued by Red Indians, fly in a sea plane over the great lakes of Canada - would their friends ever believe their remarkable stories?

Destiny '39
Following a personal disappointment, 19-year-old John Swain joined the Territorial Army in late August 1939, unaware of what destiny had in store just days away. When Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September he was serving as a Gunner in the 99th London Welsh Regiment, Royal Artillery, Anti-Aircraft. As the war progressed. Swain's increasingly expert knowledge of guns led to a posting at the Military College of Science at Stoke on Trent, and voyages to secret foreign destinations, where his technical skills were vital to defeating the enemy. Destiny '39 is one man's account of the routines, dangers, excitement and camaraderie of those war years in Europe and North Africa, when life for a soldier was cheap and violent death a constant spectre. From the perils of mortar shells to the hazards of exotic beauties who could lure a young soldier from his patriotic duty. Swain tells his story with wit, humour and keen observation.

Four Glorious Years is a fascinating and stirring account of the heroic and invaluable achievements performed by the Naval Nurses and the Red Cross during the Second World War.
