How do children cope when their world is transformed by war? this book uses oral histories to construct an historical anthropology of childhood in second world britain, focusing on objects and spaces such as gas masks, air raid shelters and bombed-out buildings. In their struggles to cope with the fears and upheavals of wartime, children reimagined and reshaped these material traces into toys, treasures and playgrounds. With families divided by military service, war work and evacuation, this study of the material worlds of wartime childhood offers a unique viewpoint into an extraordinary period in history with powerful resonances across time and space into the present day.
