      Description:

      From Raphael Tuck's wartime Better Little Books series - 'Life in a Tank'. Another series of "Air Raid Shelter" books published for children during WW2. Wartime paper shortages meant that some children's books were produced in miniature format, in a style reminiscent of 18th and 19th century chapbooks. More titles available in this series..
