Orphaned by a World War II bombing raid, 11-year-old Jimmy finds
himself alone in the world with no family to support him. Reading
Oliver Twist in school taught him what happens to children in his
situation. He is determined to go it alone and avoid being sent to
the workhouse or the orphanage. But it isn't going to be easy. In
the days of food and clothing rationing, air raids, blackout
restrictions and fears of invasion, he has to keep food in his
mouth and a roof over his head in addition to avoiding the
authorities. A gripping tale of determination, courage and
friendship set in the harshest of circumstances, The Phoenix Child
takes hold of readers and doesn't let go until the last page.
Author Henry J. Southern is a retired Business Studies Lecturer. A
widower, he lives on the outskirts of Sheffield, England on the
very edge of open countryside. In addition to writing, he cooks,
gardens and volunteers time to help children with their reading at
the local primary school.
