This unique, funny and sometimes heartbreakingly sad book contains a treasury of first-hand stories from people all over the country. From unexploded bombs to blackouts and from the Home Guard to the Blitz, their stories reveal some of the strange, incredible and downright funny things that 'kept us calm and carrying on' in the otherwise dark days of the Second World War.
