{"product_id":"9781910723555","title":"Beneath Safer Skies: A Child Evacuee in Shropshire","description":"Fleeing the heavy bombing in Kent in 1940, Anthea Toft was eight years old when she arrived with her mother to live on a remote farm in deepest Shropshire. The contrast between her sheltered middle class life in the Home Counties, and that of the hard-working rural existence of the farming folk with whom she found herself, is vividly recorded in this remarkable account.\r \r A sensitive and nervous child, Anthea recalls with astonishing clarity the events that changed her young life at that time.\r \r A fascinating snap-shot of the farming communities and a lost way of rural life in Shropshire during the second world war.\r \r Anthea’s account as a child-evacuee is interspersed with photographs and highlights from letters written between her parents at the time.","brand":"Merlin Unwin Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137554792688,"sku":"9781910723555","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781910723555_p0.jpg?v=1763628121","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781910723555","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
