Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Although the silver sword was only a paper knife, it became the symbol of hope and courage which kept four deserted children alive through the years of occuption, and afterwards on the exhausting and dangerous journey from war-torn Poland to Switzerland, where they hoped to find their parents.

Ian Serraillier (1912-1994), was a British novelist and poet. Born in London, he was educated at Brighton College, and took his degree at St Edmund Hall, Oxford.
