JOHNSON, B. S. [ed.] The Evacuees
JOHNSON, B. S. [ed.] The Evacuees. London: Victor Gollancz. 1968. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s navy cloth lettered in gilt to spine, in the photographic dust jacket. An excellent copy, the book fine, a trifle bumped at one or two corners but the binding tight, the contents clean. The dust jacket unclipped (42/- net) and complete, with some mild rubbing to corners and spine tips.
Thirty-three individual accounts of childhood evacuation during the Second World War, by a wide mix of inidividuals, known writers to unknown members of the public, all of them shaped somewhat by their unknowable experiences. Johnson edits, and with much of the avant-gardist’s work, this is as much an exercise about the truism that anybody can write well about their own childhood.
