EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover illustration for the WW2 children's story book, "We Lived In London," transports us back to 1942 during the height of World War II. The image depicts a bustling London scene with the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral standing tall amidst the chaos of war. Searchlights pierce through the night sky, symbolizing hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
Eileen Marsh's poignant storytelling combined with this powerful visual representation captures the spirit of wartime London, where families lived through air raids and uncertainty on a daily basis. The bravery and strength of those who called London home during this tumultuous time is beautifully portrayed in this artwork.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by so many during WW2 and how their courage continues to inspire us today. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and the importance of never forgetting those who lived through such challenging times.
This image is not just a snapshot from history; it is a testament to the human spirit and our ability to persevere even in the darkest hours. "We Lived In London" is more than just a children's story book - it is a tribute to all those who endured life during wartime and emerged stronger because of it.
