Re: Nina Bawden
The last two nights we watched the BBC TV adaptation of Nina Bawden's 'Carrie's War' again after a gap of maybe a couple of years or so. Once again it struck me how well acted it is - how close to the novel it is - and how they just don't make children's TV series like this any more, sadly. I would go so far as to say its probably the best adaptation of any children's novel done by the BBC.
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
