The Winged Watchman

De: Hilda van Stockum

Narrado por: John Lee

This acclaimed story of World War II is rich in suspense, characterization, plot, and spiritual truth. Every element of occupied Holland is united in a story of courage and hope: a hidden Jewish child, an underdiver, a downed RAF pilot, an imaginative, daring underground hero, and the small things of family life which surprisingly carry on in the midst of oppression. The Verhagen family, who live in the old windmill called the Winged Watchman, are a memorable set of individuals whose lives powerfully demonstrate the resilience of those who suffer but do not lose faith.

Great book!

Loved it! Didn't want to turn it off. Especially after the first few chapters.

great story about a lesser known area of WWII.

great way to introduce kids to the tragedies and hardships of WWII. I believe it's best for ages 9 and up, although my 7 yo listened too. the children in the story acted courageously and with faith. great listen for the whole family.
