Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A few weeks ago a tall, bushy-haired young man landed in England. Since then he has been traveling about the country, absorbing its atmosphere. Midst the rubble of Coventry he has talked with men and women who have survived attacks from the skies. He has dropped in on workers at their homes. In the halls of Parliament he has spoken with statesmen and in Whitehall gathered ideas about the workings of government ... He has felt the pulse of a hard-pressed nation and set down in verse and prose the story of Britain's war ... These playlets are written to epitomize the feelings of millions in the words of a few ... With talk, music, and sound effects he tells the story in poetic form.
