Echoes of Christmas 1914 in the trenches call to the present day when a letter found by chance in an antique desk brings one soldier's experience hauntingly to life. A typically spellbinding tale from the battlefields of World War One from former Children's Laureate and award-winning author of War Horse, Michael Morpurgo. This vivid and emotive war story is matched by the stunning artwork from Michael Foreman. A picture book not to be missed at Christmas time.
