Description
A poignant poem about peace in the midst of war. In 1914, during one of the darkest periods of conflict, an extraordinary silence fell over the trenches. On that cold winter's night, something remarkable happened - soldiers from opposing sides laid down their arms and came together in a spirit of friendship and generosity. Carol Ann Duffy's powerful poem tells the story of this miraculous truce, where enemies became friends, shared songs and gifts, and even played football together. Beautifully illustrated with colour pictures by David Roberts, this special edition is a heartwarming tribute to the human spirit during times of war.
