Short description

Though Worlds May Change is the third volume of The Cat & The Nightingale Saga, the docu-drama version of The Weekend Trippers, the true story of Rifleman Ted Taylor's part in the heroic last stand in Calais May 1940. Based on the diaries and conversations of both Ted and Brenda his fiancee, a nurse, this is the story of their war.

Extended description

For Brenda the relief that Ted was alive and had survived the Defence of Calais was soon replaced by terror as the Germans began bombing London. Night after terrifying night, bombs fell and fires raged as the Blitz became her life, her days spent nursing the victims and her nights avoiding the death from the skies.

For Ted life as a POW in Poland was like living in a nightmare from which he couldn’t wake up. As the weather worsened so did his living conditions and the lack of news from England only served to add to his sense of isolation. The casual brutality of his guards continued unabated, their arrogance and lack of compassion only hardening his own resolve to survive.

But for Brenda’s friend, Pam, life at last began to find meaning. After struggling for months to find something worthwhile to help the war effort an opportunity presented itself that was both unexpected and exhilarating.

It covers the period from July to December 1940. The title, taken from ‘They’ll always be an England’ reflects not only the havoc and chaos that WW2 wrought on innocent lives, but also the stubborn determination to make the best of it and to survive against all the
odds.
