{"product_id":"9780752480046","title":"Child from Home: Memories of a North London Evacuee","description":"In 1939, John Wright, a four-year-old boy from a deprived but loving Middlesbrough home, was uprooted from his family and evacuated to a large house in North Yorkshire, requisitioned as a nursery school. His story is not unlike any other during the upheaval of wartime, but in this remarkably lucid and detailed set of recollections, a seventy-three-year-old man tells his story of love, loss and life with the delight and fear of a wartime child. His poignant memories of cruelty and hurt are set against a beautiful voyage of discovery as a young boy explores the Yorkshire countryside and comes of age in a unique environment, only to be struck by an unbearable tragedy. A bittersweet tale of innocence and stark realities, Child from Home explores why wartime means so much to our collective memory - and reveals the devastating effect we have on children as we try to protect them from conflict.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107614408944,"sku":"9780752480046","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780752480046_p0.jpg?v=1763639332","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780752480046","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
