The first follows the technological innovation theme from the earlier book and examines the impact of the introduction of the first British tanks on the battle. The second half sees the Germans reacting to this new development in the only way they can — increased ferocity, brutality and dirty tactics — flying in the face Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 the gentlemanly conduct of previous confrontations run by unsuitable aristocrats. The other major theme running through this book is the regularlity with which the British army is willing to shoot and torture its own men, for anything from basic insubordination through to falling asleep on duty. As before, the waste of human life presented Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 the comic is poignant and more than a little shocking, not least of all because the story is reprinted from a publication aimed at young boys interested in the glamour of soldiering. Charley loses friends quicker than he can make them and the horror of it all turns this social, caring individual away from forming any bonds with his colleagues in the trenches because the likelihood of losing them is so high. When all the English look like bedraggled waifs and the Germans like uniformed barbarians, it Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 us away from the true nature World War I — an entire generation of men grinding one another into mince.

  • Bessie Bunter Missing Fortune
    HILDA RICHARDS BESSIE BUNTER AND THE MISSING FORTUNE CHAPTER I A Fright for the Fourth 'RIPPING weather!' 'Gorgeous! ' 'Just the afternoon for taking some snaps!' 'Rather!' 'And for a picnic!' fat Bessie Bunter put in eagerly. 'I say, you know, dud-don't forget the picnic―' There was a laugh from the crowd of merry-looking schoolgirls gathered on the steps of Cliff House School, and Bessie Bunter, the fattest member of the party blinked in indignant surprise. 'Well, what is there to cackle at in that?' she demanded. 'It is a ripping afternoon for a picnic! ' 'Right, Fatima!' agreed Barbara Redfern, the leader of the party. 'And a picnic there shall be, too. But the main object of the outing is to take snaps. That's why I've brought my camera.' As a matter of fact, they all had cameras-except Bessie. Bessie's camera had departed during the winter in exchange for a few shillings to buy tuck. 'Well, what are we waiting for?' the fat one exclaimed impatiently. 'And, I say, where are we going? I hope it's not too far, you know. I'm famished as it is!' There was another laugh at that. Trust Bessie to put her appetite first! The beauties of the afternoon, the thrill of picture-hunting, were considerations which fat Bessie completely ignored. A picnic was in prospect, and a picnic was Bessie's immediate and only ambition. 'We're waiting for Marcelle,' Barbara Redfern explained, and glanced over her shoulder into the school. 'She forgot her camera, and has gone to her study to fetch it.

  • The Just William Series of Books Was Born Richmal Crompton Lamburn in 1890
    PEPYS JUST WILLIAM CARD GAME Comments about the cards in the game Richmal Crompton who wrote the Just William series of books was born Richmal Crompton Lamburn in 1890. She was the daughter of a clergyman and became a schoolmistress in 1914. She gave up teaching because she had begun to write part time in 1919 and was successful, so she decided to make it her full time job. She was very active in the Women’s Suffrage movement. Unfortunately she contracted poliomyelitis in 1923 and as a result she lost all use of her left leg and became confined to a wheelchair. She never married. The very first William story was published in Home Magazine and was entitled “Rice Mould Pudding”. The books about William were very popular and she wrote a total of 38 in all. Her other books also sold well and she wrote 41 adult novels, which she considered to be her main work, and another 9 books of short stories. All the William series were collections of short stories and they sold over 12 million copies in the UK alone. The illustrator of the William books was Thomas Henry Fisher (known as Thomas Henry) who illustrated Richmal Crompton’s books from 1919. Strangely, he never met her until 1954. He was also well known for his cartoons for Punch and London Opinion from 1945 to 1952. The very popular radio series of 1948 was broadcast on Children’s Hour by the BBC with David Spenser playing William and the stuck up Hubert Lane played by Charles Hawtry.
