An important book for children on the theme of war and peace
It cannot be accidental that so many children's books with the theme of war have been published at the close of the twentieth century. There is a feeling that records need to be set straight and passed on to the generations that will grow up in the twenty first century and perhaps an even stronger feeling that it is not too late to educate children about war and its consequences. This is an unique anthology of extracts, short stories and poetry on the theme of war and peace in children's literature. The moving and thought provoking selection is taken from the most acclaimed writers and artists and includes Raymond Briggs' 'Ethel and Ernest a true story', Michael Foreman's 'War Game', Michael Morpurgo's 'War Horse' and Robert Westall's 'Gulf'.
This is an anthology of extracts, short stories and poetry on the theme of war and peace in children's literature. It includes extracts from, among others, Michael Foreman's "War Game", Wilfred Owen's "Futility", with literature on more recent wars.
