Part memoir and part fantasy, this little book of short stories by storyteller Jon Vicker's-Jones reflects the antics of a little boy and his "gypsy" sock during the Blitz of London in the Second World War and at other historical times. Jon, his friends, his family, and his sock all have good times, rough times, and lots of funny times as they show us their ability to survive and thrive amidst the troubles of life during the war.
