I’m also delighted that First Aid for Fairies introduced you to a new setting – the series is set in Scotland, but I am inspired by tales of magic and fabled beasts from Wales, Ireland and England as well as Scotland across the four books. Thanks again, and keep up all the great reviewing!

As a writer, as the daughter of one of the "walking wounded", that means more to me than anything. My fathers story is just one of thousands.

The quote is dead on the book--everyone in this book has been broken in some way by the war, not only the soldiers but also those they left behind. This book very clearly, just like "A Farewell to Arms" showcases the brutal humanity of this act we call war. I really think this book is much more powerful, but less graphic, than Hemingway's because it is told from a child's perspective. Those insights make the acts and words chilling to me. That a child can see the truth and then point out the simplicity of it is beautiful. This would make a terrific companion piece and stand-alone in the areas of Vietnam War and victim's rights.

Fredrick Henry says, "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry." <br /><br /> The title of this is reminiscent of the quote. Your thoughts?Amy Nallnoreply@blogger.com
