Of course, I cannot help myself thanking everyone involved in bringing this book to fruition, but in the interests of brevity,suffice it to say that you know who you are, and I appreciate everything you do, always.
A final word—once again this is a story initially inspired by my late father, Albert Winspear. Dad was a very, very fast runner, and when Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, he was among the fastest boys in London who were chosen to run messages between Air Raid Precautions depots—the “ARP” men visited schools across London to watch boys run before plucking out the best of them. After school he would sprint to the local depot to pick up a message and then deliver message after message as fast as he could for several hours, usually through bombing raids. Those of you who have read To Die But Once and learned about the inspiration for that book will know what came next for my father. It is often forgotten that in wartime,children’s work becomes—sadly—a vital resource.
