This is a fascinating scrapbook insight to the First World War, as seen through the eyes of a young boy. In 1914, just before the outbreak of the First World War, ten-year-old Archie is sent a scrapbook in the post by his Uncle Colin. In the years that follow, until the war ends in 1918, he writes in the book and we experience life through Archie's eyes and learn about his world and his family in an exhilarating collage of strip comics, doodles, drawings, cartoon characters, mementoes, photos, thoughts and jokes. It's an astonishing insight into what it was like to be a child at this important moment in history.
With its striking scrapbook style - containing flaps and fold-out letters - Archie's War is imaginative and captivating, and is the perfect introduction to the subject for home or school work.

The true story of Ben and Mark Smith, aged eight and six, who live with their parents Richard and Sheri on Mount White Station, near Arthur's Pass. One of New Zealand's biggest and most remote high-country stations in the South Island, it is 45 minutes from the nearest village to their turnoff on the main road, and fourteen gates along a gravel road from there to the farmhouse. Their story is lovingly told by Christine Fernyhough, the author of The Road to Castle Hill, with stunning photographs by John Bougen. This story of life fashioned by the cycles and seasons of farming, far away from other people, where you have to make you own fun, will be enjoyed by adults as well as children.
