A Review By Tamsin

Down at the front, on a freezing Winter’s night in 1914, in the middle of the worst war that the world has known, two men stood and faced each other as in hope, not in war. In The Christmas Truce Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy gives us a lovely poem, inspired by this moment of humanity and hope at Christmas.

With much of the world still at war, this lovely little Christmas book offers a reminder of the moment when two trenches came together, shook hands, sang songs, swapped gifts, played football and found peace in no-man’s-land.

 A delightfully illustrated book, sized for little hands to pull from Christmas stockings….
