Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dave Dawson at Dunkirk" by R. Sidney Bowen is a war adventure novel written in the early 1940s. The story follows the young protagonist Dave Dawson, an American teen who finds himself in Europe during the early days of World War II, specifically around the time of the German invasion of Belgium and Holland. This exciting narrative captures the escalating tensions and dangers of war, as well as the adventures and challenges that Dave encounters alongside his new friend, Freddy Farmer. At the start of the book, Dave Dawson awakens in Paris on his seventeenth birthday, thrilled by the experiences he has had in Europe with his father, who suddenly disappears. With the backdrop of war looming closer, Dave learns about the German invasion of Belgium and finds himself in a whirlwind of chaos as he attempts to escape from advancing troops alongside Lieutenant Defoe. The opening chapters set the stage for a gripping tale filled with peril and camaraderie, where Dave's courage and determination to reunite with his father and navigate the war-torn landscape are put to the test. The strong bond he begins to form with Freddy Farmer suggests themes of friendship and resilience in the face of adversity.
