The Great War: Stories Inspired by Items from the First World War by David Almond
2.0
The Great War stories in this book are based on real artifacts that have been recovered and preserved over the years. The different authors of this work had written these stories previous to them being complied together into this one novel. All of the stories are unique to each other and facts about the featured pieces are located at the back of the book.
I personally did not like this book and the way the stories flowed together. Yes, they are all separate from one another, but there was no flow in the way they were presented. As a whole book, I don't think I would recommend this to anyone that wasn't already incredibly interested in WWI history. Individual stories I would be more likely to recommend.
