Our 1,000-year-old guide, Major, remembers back to the beginning of the Second World War. He paints a picture of life for those who lived and worked in London…
In our second story, we felt that Robin Hood’s Little Outlaws must handle a complex and sensitive theme, as a proof of concept and to test the appropriateness and effectiveness of the rhyming narrative.
And we’ve definitely been proved right! Evacuees is a fantastic story which touches on many major themes from the Second World War: Hitler’s rise to power and invasion of European territories, The Blitz, the Battle of Britain, rationing, the bombing of the Rhur valley dams, and war’s devastating conclusion, coupled with the sense of loss, separation, and sacrifice, experienced by the main characters.
Evacuees is a compelling follow-up story for Robin Hood’s Little Outlaws and perfectly demonstrates the value and scope of the concept.
So come with us and explore, a thousand years of history, and more…

Most people hid in the Underground,
the safest places that could be found…
But with bombs and rockets falling night and day,
the Government said children should all move away…
