My Secret War Diary
Marcia Williams
2nd World War seen through the eyes of a girl, Flossie. Companion volume to last year's Archie's War (WWI). Both highly recommended.


Christmas With The Savages
by Mary Clive


First published 1955. Seen through the eyes of an 8-year-old, the book presents a hilarious account of an Edwardian Christmas, packed with eccentrics...



The Children's Hours: Stories of Childhood
Ed. Richard Zimler, Rasa Sekulovic

 

Authors' royalties go to Save The Children and the editors worked for free...

The Tales of Beedle the Bard
published by The Children's High Level Group, a charity co-founded by J K Rowling and Emma Nicholson for the support of vulnerable children
Lucky Wish Mouse
White Christmas
Clara Vulliamy


Comes with a small Lucky Wish Mouse to place under a pillow for making a Christmas wish... No tacky novelty book this.
