How do children cope when their world is transformed by war? This
book draws on memory narratives 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, with families divided and familiar landscapes
lost or transformed, children reimagined and reshaped these
material traces of conflict into toys, treasures and playgrounds.
This study of the material worlds of wartime childhood offers a
unique viewpoint into an extraordinary period in history with
powerful resonances across global conflicts into the present day.
