| Synopsis: |
"A Year Out of Time" is the autobiographical story of one twelve year old girl from a "nice" middle-class background, and a "nice" private school (where her mother hoped she might learn to be a lady) who, in the autumn of 1940 finds herself pitched into the totally foreign environment of a small Worcestershire hamlet.For the space of one year her life revolves around the village school and it's manic headmaster; the friends she makes, notably Georgie Little, the "bad influence", the twee but useful fellow evacuees, Mavis and Mickey Harper, whose possession of an old pig sty proves to be the springboard to some surprising and sometimes hilarious happenings; and Mrs 'Arris, the vast and formidable landlady of The Green Dragon Inn.In the company of Georgie Little she awakens to the joys of a new and exhilarating world; a secret world which excludes most adults and frequently verges on the lawless.The year comes to an explosive end and she returns unwillingly to her former life. But the joyous, anarchic influence of the Forest and Georgie remains, and sixty years on is remembered with gratitude and love. |
