Jim’s Letters by Glyn Harper Illustrated by Jenny Cooper
Penguin - Hardback - $25.00
Publication 28 March, 2014
Between December 1914 and
August 1915 Tom and Jim write to each other whenever they get a chance. Tom
talks about life at home on the farm while Jim writes from Egypt and then from
the trenches of the Gallipoli peninsula.
From the author and
illustrator of Le Quesnoy comes a moving story of two brothers separated
by war. It is based on the thousands of letters sent by and to Anzac soldiers
fighting at Gallipoli, one of the most significant campaigns of the First World
War.
This beautiful hardback
depicts life at war and on the home front with exquisite illustrations by Jenny
Cooper and fold-out letter inserts. I have to confess that this brought tears to my eyes.Very special. Look out for it.
