Journey Throught the Night: Volume 3
Anne de Vries
Volume 3 in the Journey Through the Night Series.
After the second world war, Anne de Vries, one of Holland’s most popular novelists, was commissioned to capture in literary form the spirit and agony of those five harrowing years of Nazi occupation.

The Adventures of Lightfoot the Deer
Thornton Burgess
Autumn should have been a season of contentment for the inhabitants of the Green Forest. Food was plentiful and all the young creatures born earlier in the year had been taught how to look out for themselves.
