Jim Elridge was born in Camden Town in central London in 1944 during the Second World War. When he was a baby his pram was snatched from his elder sister's hands by a blast from an exploding V2 rocket, and he ended up unharmed (and still asleep) on a pile of rubble. He grew up in this area amid scenes of bomb-damage and devastation, and his memories and the tales of what his parents and elder sister went through during the Blitz have inspired this book, Blitz Kids.

With stunning black and white illustrations and gripping information, this book will thrill young readers with tale after tale, from Elizabethan intrigue to World War II Nazi-resistance efforts, from Ancient Roman invasions to guerilla fighters in the Civil War.
