Baldock author and illustrator Martin Impey has released a book telling the "moving" story of a family living in the East End of London during World War II.
Blitz: One Family's War is told from the perspective of a brother and sister who watch their ordinary world change around them - from the outbreak of war to waving their father off to fight the Nazis and nightly runs to the air raid shelters.

Martin said: "Blitz: One Family's War is inspired by my childhood stories, growing up with tales of how my grandparents' house in Bow, the heart of London's East End was destroyed by German bombs during - what later became known as 'The Blitz'.
"Although Blitz One Family's War is a story of fiction, it resembles many details shared during those happy days listening to my grandparents' wartime experiences."
Martin Impey is an award-winning illustrator of more than 50 books, and has twice been nominated for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for children's book illustration.
