Days Of Hope 1945-2015: Children's Workshop With Author Lydia Syson

Rule One: If the Germans come by parachute, aeroplane or ship you must remain where you are. The order is to ‘stay put’.

The East End 1940. The Battle of Britain is raging in the sky above. Germany could invade any day. It is impossible to ignore the rumble of guns, the devastation of the blitz, the rumours of spies and fifth columnists. It was one extraordinary burning summer that changed lives forever.

Lydia Syson will be reading and discussing her teen novel set in 1940, That Burning Summer, with a drama workshop full of participation to explore what it meant to live under the threat of invasion.

All ages welcome but most suitable for 9-14 years.
