Little Captive: Wait for Freedom is the inspiring true story of a
child whose city was bombed, whose rescue ship was sunk, and who
was held prisoner of war by the Japanese during World War II.
Author Susan McCabe knew it was a story that had to be told when
she met Des Woodford at his home in Perth Australia, where she and
her family had moved from Canada. The story takes the reader with
the young Des on his journey of adventure, pain, suffering, heroism
and survival. This book not only tells the dramatic tale of what
happened, it reveals the inner journey of the soul of the child,
and leaves us breathless with admiration at his strength and depth
of character. Des lives for us, as do his parents Rosy and Sonny,
who share his ordeal, though they are all ripped apart before being
brought back together. There are camp heroes like the Dutch Barfing
brothers, the irrepressible Aussie jockeys who take on the brutal
prison guards, and Des's pet chicks Bluey and Koefer. All of them -
even the pet birds - become three-dimensional, living breathing
personalities who engage our feelings.
