The author is running a half-term workshop at the Royal Albert Hall in London for children, part of volunteer work which she undertakes to share stories of her World War Two childhood with today’s children.
Lotte Moore was a young girl during World War Two but has vivid memories of this turbulent time. Her latest book, Lotte's War: Bunkers, Bombs and Barrage Ballons, (Urbane Publications), has been written as her legacy.
Wartime memories
Lotte has invited three groups of children aged between eight and ten from West London schools to step back in time with her. The children will listen to Lotte read an extract from her book, learn about rationing and 'enjoy' some of the delicacies of the era, including Spam and Tapioca Pudding. There will also be wartime photographs and relics from in the room to bring the whole event to life.
