CHAIRBOY Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 ooooooh whats this about apart from a sword? Now knowing your child's ages, I think they are too young. The synopsis is as follows -Alone and fending for themselves in a Poland devastated by World War Two, Jan and his three homeless friends cling to the silver sword as a symbol of hope. As they travel through Europe towards Switzerland, where they believe they will be reunited with their parents, they encounter many hardships and dangers. This extraordinarily moving account of an epic journey gives a remarkable insight into the reality of life in war-torn Europe. The BBC serialised it in eight-parts in 1957. I remember watching it with Frazer Hines taking the lead role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAIRBOY Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 A further suggestion, but once again for older children, E.E.Nesbit's "The Railway Children". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
