Christmas In The Trenches

Christmas In The Trenches

Christmas In The Trenches

BY JOHN MCCUTCHEON, ILLUSTRATED BY HENRI SORENSEN

Brief Description:
It is cold and clear on Christmas Eve night in 1914. Francis Tolliver and his fellow British soldiers are holed up in muddy trenches along the Western Front. The German soldiers lie in wait across a field known as "No Man's Land." Suddenly a strange sound pierces the darkness. Someone is singing a Christmas carol in German. When the song ends, Thomas and the other British soldiers sing a carol. Soon carols are sung back and forth across No Man's Land. Then a figure emerges in the dark, carrying a small Christmas tree. Slowly the British and German soldiers leave their trenches, and the war, behind to stand together in the open field. Includes a CD with 2 songs and a reading of the book.
