On Friday the 1st of September 1939, the British government-initiated Operation Pied Piper with the blunt message: 'Evacuate forthwith'.
More than 1.5 million people from urban 'target' areas, of whom 800,000 were children, were evacuated over 3 days to put them out of the way of the Luftwaffe.
My new 3D Photobook tells the story of Imogen evacuated from Wandsworth, South London where she went to school at Magdalene School (now Beatrix Potter School) to School in Wonersh & Shamley Green, Surrey. Much of the story is based on research and fact.
Any profits will be shared with the Rural Life Museum in Tilford, Surrey.
The book is in 3-D with simple glasses included with the purchase, this hopefully will appeal to younger audiences.
The book will be published early December 2024. Perhaps a good Chritmas present for young and old?
This is a really worthwhile project and will support a great local museum. Below are some draft pages from the book.
Below is the radio announcement that Imogen and her mother are listening to on the radio
