The Applebrook Trilogy is another triumph for Mary Weeks Millard.
It deals with life in World War Two for a group of evacuees in a delightful Somerset village. The children, who were not related, all arrived from differing backgrounds and challenging situations. One had come on the Kindertransport from Austria, another from worn-torn Singapore and others from bombed homes in London.
