This book is
amazing as it provides a unique insight into
how the parishioners managed to cope during
the war years. It's evident that the author
dedicated countless hours to meticulously comb
through Hugh Creeks' extensive collection of
notes and clippings in order to select the most
valuable pieces of information to include in
this publication.
Throughout the
book, there are moments of utmost seriousness,
particularly when considering that the Germans
dropped canister bombs just a few miles away
from the village. However, there are also lighthearted
and humorous anecdotes about the Home Guard
that add a touch of levity to the narrative.
I am eagerly
anticipating the release of the author's fourth
book, as his writing style and ability to capture
the essence of historical events is truly remarkable
