Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This is the story of a young evacuee from Liverpool sent to live in the Welsh town of Llanelli. Separated from his mother, brothers and sisters, six-year-old Ray Evans was dispatched to a series of families who ignored, exploited and brutalised him. Pushed from pillar to post, he finally finds happiness with a family who make him so welcome that he is reluctant to leave when war ends. Set in a world of ration books, air-raid sirens and ever-present danger, this is a candid and direct account of wartime Britain as seen through the eyes of a child.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Born in Liverpool in 1933, Ray Evans was evacuated to the South Wales town of Llanelli at the outbreak of World War Two. He remained there until the cessation of hostilities in 1945. He spent two years in Egypt as a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps. In the mid Sixties he started a wholesale clothing business, which he ran until he moved with his family to the United States in the mid 1990s. He now lives in Virginia.
