About this ebook

Bang goes another deafening explosion. Though they are young, the birds are used to it and do not flinch.

It is 1916. A spindly tree stands in No Man’s Land during the First World War amid wooden stumps and razor-sharp wire. Two birds sit in the tree. Hatched into the horrors of war, they try to figure out why the constant danger occurs. Humans live in trenches on either side – but are they friends or enemies?

As the war rages on, glimmers of hope and colour appear. Can the birds’ plan to sing for peace finally see an end to the years of danger?

‘The Birds of Flanders Fields’ is a work of fiction set on the front lines of the First World War.
