520    Margery Allingham, already a successful crime writer, was 
       living quietly in the Essex village of Tolleshunt D'Arcy 
       ('Auburn') when the Second World War broke out. Her house 
       became an Air Raid Wardens' post and a First Aid centre, 
       and Allingham herself became responsible for 275 East 
       London evacuees in a rural community of just over 600. 
       Commissioned by American publishing friends to recount 
       what life was like, she began The Oaken Heart in the 
       autumn of 1940, when the Battle of Britain gave way to the
       London Blitz. Bombs fell, even on the Essex countryside, 
       and a German invasion was fully expected. She conceived 
       her work as an honest letter to America. Places were given
       fictional names but otherwise she told it like it was, 
       whether funny or painful. Unsentimental yet personal and 
       rich in detail, this is an evocative first-hand account of
       day-to-day realities in a small community upended and 
       terrified of the future - like so many villages of the 
       time.
