In thinking of books for boys, I came up with two more beloved books from my own childhood. I looked on the internet for the first, Friday’s Tunnel by John Verney. I remember this one as a very British, cartoon-like story about an eccentric family by the name of Callendar. The boy’s name is Friday, and his sister is named February. I found that this book and all the others by this author are out of print. That’s a shame because I remember them quite fondly.
The other book is The Silver Sword by Ian Serrailler. This story tells of four children, refugees in post-World War II Europe, and how they manage to survive and eventually become reunited with their father. This book is also sometimes entitled Escape from Warsaw.
Anybody read either of these? I plan to add both of them and several other books by both authors to my ever-growing LIST.
