Hide and Seek, by Finchley author and actress Bettine Le Beau, who appeared in Dr No, is being offered to any schools free of charge. Her novel recounts the hardships when their children, Bettine and her brother, become separated from them in the early part of the Second World War. A tale of intrigue and human endeavour plays out as people pull together in Nazi occupation in France.
I dedicate this book to the French Organisation OSE (Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants). They saved my life and taught me to love and care for my own people and for other Human Beings on this Planet. All proceeds from the sales of Hide and Seek will go to the OSE.
