As Hitler's bombers prepared to unleash their reign of terror on England, hundreds of thousands of parents packed their children off to government-designated "Places of Greater Safety." Among the innocents were 10-year-old Hilda and her two sisters. In the spirit of Anne Frank's diary, Hilda Hollingsworth offers us a bittersweet tale of their life in a Welsh mining village. Passed through a series of households, their story is alternately funny, tragic and poignant, as is any story of war told from the eyes of a child. Indeed, the Hollingsworth sisters, as much as any soldier caught on the field of battle, were truly prisoners of war.
