Christmas Around The Village Green

Derbyshire, 1940s: Christmas is different for little Dot May Dunn and her fellow villagers these days. The paper garlands are red, white and blue, though Father Christmas still comes, carols are sung, and families are relieved to be together. As the seasons change and war still rages, Dot must adjust to holidays, village fetes and school life under its shadow. She understands very little of the terrible events in the adult world; but as the village comes face to face with their effects, the real impact bears heavily on this close-knit mining community.
