Yesterday afternoon I continued my literary jaunt around London by popping into The Imperial War Museum to see their exhibition 'Once Upon a Wartime'. It features five war stories for children; War Horse by Michael Morpurgo; Carrie's War by Nina Bawden; The Machine Gunners by Robert Westall; The Silver Sword and Little Soldier by Bernard Ashley. As I had read the first four books as part of my studies, it was great to see inspirations for the stories and some background information. The rest of the museum was good too, I managed to look around the exhibition on children in the war as well as the Holocaust exhibition. I finished off with a quiet sit down in the Tibetian peace garden. That was the end of my day in London. I will try to get down again soon to sit the next round of exhibits.
