The Blitzed Brits (Horrible Histories) by Terry Deary

Age :7-9

History with the nasty bits left in! Can you imagine life without television, road signs and bananas? Or only having enough clothing coupons to buy a small pair of knickers? Not to mention the late-night bombing raids. These were just some of the hardships for the people who stayed at home in World War Two - the blitzed Brits. Read on for some spiffing slang, foul food facts about rotten rationing, awful evacuation tales, and the terrible truth about London\'s bloodthirsty blackout murderer. History has never been so horrible!
