The classic tale of a journey through war-torn Europe.

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 a Europe laid waste by war.

From 11 February to 30 October 2011, The Silver Sword will feature as one of five books in the Imperial War Museum exhibition Once Upon A Wartime: Classic War Stories for Children.

Great audio for adults and children.
We took our audio along in the car on a small trip. The older generations went through so much hardships and it really makes you appreciate what you have and that people not stuff is important. Hope you enjoy this audio as much as we did. The Winged Watchmen is a great audio as well.

Enjoyed this audio book with our family!

This was a book that I read many times as a child and it was really fun to rediscover it as an audio book. Even though I am older, I still very much enjoyed listening to it. I brought back good memories.

I loved this book as a child

Thank you, Sean, for bringing this book to life through your reading! I have read this book many, many times to my students and it was nice to hear someone else read it. Each time I read The Silver Sword I wonder if it will still effect me in the same way and sure enough, I get tears in my eyes when I reach the end. My wish now is that it would be made into a movie!

My Favorite Children's Book!
