Inhaltsangabe

Collecting the combined resources of the charity Never Such Innocence, this delightfully illustrated resource book aimed at 9+ children and their teachers/parents shows how the Great War changed Britain and the world.

Using poetry, illustrations and real-life stories and characters, the book explores the different stages of the war and topics such as spies, women at the front, objectors, and the animals that played their part, to provide young people with a rounded view and a new perspective on the momentous events that unfolded between 1914 and 1919.

‘The war changed Britain and the world. Only by understanding it and the consequences can we make sense of the world around us today. This resource produced by Never Such Innocence gives us an excellent account of the war, its effect on society, art and culture. It is a great place for young people to start learning and engaging with our shared history.’
