5.0 out of 5 stars A children's classic, 22 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I first read Carrie's War after it was published in the early '70's when I was about 10. I loved it and remember watching the TV dramatisation of it also which really mirrored the book. I am just discovering the book again after nearly 30 years and have bought it in England for my son as I have not been able to find it in America.
Nina Bawden really depicts what life was like for some WWII evacuees. The characters are unforgettable and the story is original and heartwarming. A must-read for every child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping story of two children evacuated to rural Wales, 25 May 2002
By A Customer
This was one of the most evocative books I have ever read detailing the difficulties faced by Carrie and Nick when evacuated to rural Wales and coming under the strict care of shopkeeper Mr Evans and his suppressed sister for whom the war provided a means of escape to freedom from her brother's tyranny. The book captures the children's feelings perfectly and it is easy to understand why young Carrie thought she was responsible for the fire by throwing the skull into the well. Of course as she grew older she knew that such things do not cause houses to catch fire but from a child's view it was perfectly plausible. Wonderful read for children and captures perfectly the difficulties and deprivations of war time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very touching book about a young girl and her firiends., 5 Jan 2000
By A Customer
I read this book last year for literature. It was a great book and I did not put down the book until I finished it. The story begins with Carrie and her children back in the town where she used to live during wartime. She feels sad as she thinks she caused the deaths of her old friends years ago just before she left the town. Now the story goes on to tell about the time when she and her brother arrived in the town and met Auntie Lou, Mr Evans, Hebzibah, Albert Sandwich etc. It tells about her emotional troubles as she tries to please Mr Evans and her brother. She finds comfort in Mrs Evans home where she can be herself. It also tells about how Auntie Lou finally stood up to Mr Evans, When Carrie had to return home, she does something which she thought was very serious. The story ends very nicely. VERY HEARTWARMING!
