Okay, this is one of my new favourite children's books! A funny lesson in empathy and sympathy complete with illuminated text and adorable pictures (I just love the animals with shoes on their heads!). I think adults could learn a lot from this book. I'm so glad I happened to pick this up today in my quest to clear out the items I had intended to sell in my online shop (but now will not be able to). Most of the things I found are going to be donated but this is a keeper! ( )

The classic study of the failure of British command during the First World War. A traditional view, that has been somewhat superseded by current historians. ( )
