Taff in the WAAF

An account of the secret work carried out during WWII at Bletchley Park, based on the experience of Manning's own mother, Taff.

This album of photos, illustrations and supporting text, both contemporary and explaining events and daily life for a twenty-first century audience, is as thorough, enlightening and inspiring as his earlier account of his father's wartime experience as an RAF airgunner.

Manning and Granström offer Key Stage 2 readers an impeccably researched slice of wartime life, which spotlights the groundbreaking (but often forgotten) work done by women at that time, and provide an exciting slant on a different aspect of life on the Home Front.

Granström's lively illustrations add just the right degree of humour to engage young readers.
