About This Book

The book gathers short, accessible wartime narratives for young readers, opening with a family holiday suddenly disrupted by mobilization and the urgent return of a adolescent. Individual episodes depict village farewells, telegrams and newspapers, daily strains on households, scenes from parish life and the countryside, and encounters with prisoners and soldiers. Stories alternate concrete incidents with reflective vignettes that consider duty, loss, and the practical hardships war brings to children and families. The overall tone aims to explain unfolding events plainly while conveying the emotional and social consequences of armed conflict.
