Synopsis

It is the year 1940. Charlie's mother and father work at a Spitfire factory in the fishing port of Hamble. After a run in with a brutal instructor on the naval training ship Mercury, the teenager finds himself on the run from the British navy. His father hooks him up with William - the Captain of the a fishing boat called the White Feather. A few days later, the pair find themselves caught up in (arguably) the most heroic retreat of World War 2 - the Dunkirk evacuation.

À propos de l'auteur

English teacher Paul Nolan left the classroom behind to write historical fiction. He lives near Winchester with his wife and two sons. Paul says: Whilst researching a history lesson on the Dunkirk evacuations, I stumbled upon the amazing story of Charles Lightoller, the most senior surviving crew member of the Titanic. Many had labeled him as a coward, and over the years that followed he was racked by guilt. This story of redemption really resonated with the children I was teaching. It inspired the idea of a WW 1 Conscientious Objector, restoring his reputation by assisting in the Dunkirk evacuation. I wanted the story to be told through the eyes of a child and that s where Charlie Jones (the central character in of Demons of Dunkirk) comes in.
