TO THE LONG POND: THE ADVENTURES OF AN EVACUEE. By Ken Regelous.

1999 1st edition. A5 paperback (148 x 210mm). Ppviii,165. B/w photographs, maps.

The angling adventures of an evacuated boy in King's Lynn during the war". On September 1st, 1940, Ken Regelous ('Reg') was evacuated from the East End of London to King's Lynn, a town he had never heard of before. He was billeted at Mill Houses, little more than a stone's throw from the Long Pond where men and boys, but mostly boys, caught fish. Reg's adventures present not only a fascinating picture of Lynn in wartime, seen through the eyes of an evacuee, but also a portrait of a little world apart, enjoyed by those who fished in the Lond Pond and the surrounding waterways, and those who lived close to its banks. It is a world that has all but disappeared".
