On 1 September 1988, to celebrate the launch of Ben Wicks' previous book, No Time To Wave Goodbye, hundreds of men and women travelled the length and breadth of the country to converge on London's Marylebone Station. It was a nostalgic reunion.

The author was inundated with thousands of letters, many from ex-evacuees, who on reading the book had laughed and wept as they relived something of their own past. They thanked him from the bottom of their hearts -- and they begged for more.
