ExcellentKitty Baxter was born in 1930, the daughter of a road sweeper and a cleaner, and was evacuated to the countryside during WWII.

Kitty Baxter, born in London in 1930, was the daughter of a road sweeper and a cleaner, among five children. When she turned nine, war erupted, leading to her evacuation to the countryside, marking the first of three times she would be rehoused during the conflict. Often treated as a servant rather than a child, Kitty endured challenging years away from her parents, rather than finding solace in a safe haven from the war. She recalls her experiences living with strangers' families in vastly different environments from her working-class London upbringing, navigating both joyful moments and times of struggle and loss. As one of the last representatives of her generation, Kitty's voice remains as sharp and witty as her nine-year-old self, who triumphed over the adversities of a most unconventional childhood.
