Omschrijving

War Children is a novel written by John Tyler Wheelwright and published in 1908. The story is set during the American Civil War and follows the lives of two children, a brother and sister, who are forced to grow up quickly as they face the harsh realities of war. The siblings, John and Elsie, live in a small town in Virginia and are separated from their father, who has joined the Confederate army. Their mother is left to care for them and struggles to keep them safe and fed as the war rages on around them.As the war intensifies, John and Elsie are forced to flee their home and seek refuge with relatives in another town. Along the way, they encounter danger and hardship, but also kindness and compassion from strangers who are also affected by the war. The children's journey is a coming-of-age story, as they learn to navigate the complexities of war and the impact it has on their lives and the lives of those around them.The novel explores themes of family, resilience, and the human cost of war. It also offers a glimpse into the daily lives of civilians during the Civil War, including the struggles of women and children left behind while their husbands and fathers fought on the front lines. War Children is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
