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 where she went to school at Magdalene School and was evacuated to Wonersh, Surrey. Much of the story is based on research and fact. The book is dedicated to these Child Evacuee's.
Any profits will be shared with the Rural Life Museum in Tilford, Surrey. https://rural-life.org.uk/
The book is in 3-D with simple glasses included with the purchase, which appeals to young and old.
The book is now available and makes a unusual Christmas present.
This is a really worthwhile project and will support a great local museum. Below are some draft pages from the book.
