Description
"The Farrar family, whom we have met before in Family Footlights, are spending the summer holidays on 1939 in Sussex, in charge of the same delightful aunt. Suddenly the war looms upon their horizon. The empty house across that barley field has been offered for evacuee children from London and the Farrar's find themselves involved in furnishing, staffing and generally organizing the whole affair."--Book jacket.
