During just nine days in the early summer of 1940, nearly eight hundred ' Little Ships', from lifeboats & passenger steamers to small private yachts & dinghies, set off across the English Channel to rescue almost half a million men of the British & French Armies trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk. Among them were three very different crafts ï ½ a London fireboat from the docklands of the East End, manned by skipper Ollie Mears & his crew; a small pleasure steamer from the River Dart in Devon, commanded by 21-year-old Robby Endacott, an Able-Seaman in the Royal Navy who grew up on the banks of the Dart; & a small motor yacht owned by Portsmouth solicitor Hubert Rowley & crewed by his son Charles & son-in-law Toby. As each one ferries exhausted men from the beaches to the waiting ships, under incessant fire from enemy aircraft & in a sea that is awash with debris & bodies, the men are unknowingly united by a powerful driving force
- the desperate need to find one man who matters more to them than anyone else. Ollie is searching for his son Joe; Robby for his brother Bill; Toby for his brother Alex. Each of the missing men has a family, a wife or a sweetheart at home who is anxiously waiting for news. One sweetheart in particular is determined to play her own part in the rescue. Charlesï ½ sister Paddy, only 17 years old, is deeply in love with Alex, & begs to be allowed to go too. When permission is refused, she takes matters into her own hands, with startling results. On the beaches of Dunkirk, the three men wait for rescue, not knowing if they will every return home. They can only wait, watch & pray. Lilian Harryï ½s dramatic novel is full of the warmth & compassion her readers have come to love.
