Diary of Phyllis Bethel of Topsham Devon

An account of her travels with her husband and her daughter Marion from Wiesbaden in Germany and the Second World war in Topsham Devon as written in her diaries between 1929 and 1953.

26th December 1934

We went to pantomime, Herzlieb taking Toto and Katinka. At first Marion asked not to be taken to theatre again and hid her face on my shoulder, but enjoyed it afterwards. However, when devils came in last act she got frightened again and said they made her head ache. All night she kept waking up, dreaming of those devils. They seem to have made a lasting impression on her, nobody dares call her little devil in German anymore. She says they are too ugly, she wants to be a Princess.
