This moving book about peace, understanding, and unity is based on the reallife World War I event known as the Christmas Truce.It is cold and clear on Christmas Eve night in 1914. Suddenly, a strange sound pierces the darkness. Someone is singing a Christmas carol in German.Francis Tolliver and his fellow British soldiers are holed up in muddy trenches along the Western Front. Their enemiesGerman soldierslie in wait just across a field known as No Mans Land. As the Germans carol ends, Tolliver and the other British soldiers sing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Soon carols are being sung back and forth. Then a figure emerges in the dark, carrying a small Christmas tree with lighted candles. The British and German soldiers slowly leave their trenchesand the warbehind to stand together in the open field.This haunting story is adapted by awardwinning songwriter John McCutcheon from his song of the same name. Henri Srensens traditional, fullcolor oil paintings reinforce the emotional power and dignity of the story. Back matter provides more information about the historical event, and a CD featuring readings of the story and recordings of Silent Night and Christmas in the Trenches is included.
