In this interesting and touching memoir, Michael Roberts gives an intimate firsthand account of being a child evacuee during the second world war. To a little boy of 6 the world seemed a very dark place when he and his brothers were put in a train to who knew where, leaving their parents behind for 5 years. Mick was taken in by a woman in Clapham, Bedford, who to him looked like a witch. He received no warmth or kindness and tried to run away, but was brought back to face a hard time. There were howerver lighter times where the teachers at the village school were kind and he made many friends with the children. Clapham was a village he would never forget and this is his story....
