Childhoods Are Forever is a compelling collection of childhood memories shaped through the Second World War. Through the eyes of a young boy, you see the dysfunctional family, a father gone to serve secret missions for countries and teachers deployed to fight the enemy. He gets to meet brave men who risked their lives for the country and listen to their stories. Among these men was Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond.

Tony Muddimer was born before WWII started so his childhood and life was influenced by the war. They struggled for food, and classrooms were crowded with students. His father was away and the family had to leave their residence and relocate until the hostilities end.
