Overview
AMERICA, LOST & FOUND is a memoir and an adventure. Anthony Bailey was seven in 1940 when he was evacuated to the United States--one of 16,000 children sent overseas at a time when a Nazi invasion of England seemed likely.Bailey, the son of a bank manager who lived on an unpaved road near Southhampton, was transported to a mansion in Dayton, Ohio.
For four years the Spaeths were his family, while the memories of his parents and younger sister grew faint.
"This is an account of a double childhood--of a small boy who became American while never ceasing to be British. It evokes, lovingly, a detailed picture of America during the war, and presents a view of this country that perhaps only someone with one English and one American eye could create." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
