A London child's view of World War Two.
For Jacqueline Hollings and her younger sister and brother growing up in Colindale, a part of Hendon, the war brought changes and hardships they could never have imagined. Having lived a carefree pre-war existence, eight-year-old Jacqueline and her family soon faced nightly bombing raids, disruption to school life, food rationing and freezing winters, yet despite the hardships there was a spirit of camaraderie. Seventy years on Jacqueline returns to her childhood through her vivid memories, painting a picture of a little girl with a gift for music growing up against the bewildering backdrop of wartime Britain.
