Stories Inspired by Items from the First World War
Written by Various Authors, Illustrated by Jim Kay
These stories are very good. I learned a lot from them and it is so cool that people can take an object and invent a story about it. “Our Jacko” was about a tin helmet with a bullet hole in it. The family found a journal from the man who owned it. All the stories were just as good. I loved reading about the items.
