Around the Village Green: The Heart-Warming Memoir of a World War II Childhood

It`s 1939 and little Dot May Dun is playing with her brothers in the quiet lanes of their Derbyshire village. The grown-ups` talk of war means very little to Dot but things are starting to change in the village, for good. When a prisoner of war camp is built close to Dot`s village, and a Yankee base is stationed nearby, Dot makes friends with the most unlikely of soldiers. But her friendships are threatened when telegrams start to arrive in the village and the real impact of war bears heavily on this close-knit mining community. From little lives spring great tales. Dot`s childhood memoir shares the universals of innocence, love, loss and friendships. THE VILLAGE will move and entertain in equal measures.
