Passing Clouds by G.A.A. Kent

The paperback version of this book is in Large Print for the benefit of readers with limited vision. This includes the author who had to write it in maximum Zoom on his computer so that he could see what he was doing. This is the first book in a series of nine in which he hopes to record each decade of his life before he pops off - that's if he lives long enough. He certainly doesn't expect to become a best seller, but he has done this for posterity and for anyone who wants to know what it was like to be a kid in wartime Britain.
