The year is 1942 and young Jack Adams, a nine year old wartime evacuee from South London reluctantly finds himself living amongst the country folk of the county of Kent. Some of his exploits are fraught with danger at the height of the Second World War whilst others are exciting adventures amongst not only the kindest of people, but the prostitutes and pimps and the thieves, villains and vagabonds of this time. This tale is fast moving and gripping and takes place amongst some of the historic towns and villages, dairy and hop farms of this beautiful county. The Garden of England.
