Inhaltsangabe
John Purdham's novel "Little Acorns" is written to closely follow his own experiences in Europe and North Africa during World War II. Purdham's novel begins with a small boy growing up in Tyneside between the two wars. The family is poor, and highlights include moving to a council estate with the luxury of an indoor toilet and a bathroom. When the boy leaves school at fourteen he finds a white-collar job until he enlists in the RAF during the Second World War. The greater part of "Little Acorns" is about life in the Services and what it was really like to be at war - the long, repeated training, the doomed romances, the thrill of action. This book will not only stir memories for those who served in Europe and North Africa but it is also highly readable to a general audience about how it really was in those far-off, extraordinary times.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
John Purdham was born in Tyneside in 1922. After leaving school at age fourteen, he continued his education by taking evening classes and started in the role of office junior at a building society. As soon as he was eligible, Purdham joined the Royal Air Force and served as a Wireless Operator/Air Gunner during the Second World War. After the war, Purdham joined the staff of the Press Association, qualified as a Certified Accountant and eventually became the agency's Financial Controller/Company Secretary. Along with colleagues he produced a book of photographs entitled Album of a Nation, which toured the country including a visit to Buckingham Palace by royal request. Now retired, Purdham lives in Rustington, West Sussex.
