A funny and moving story of life during the First World War, told through the eyes of schoolboy Archie Albright. When 10-year-old Archie Albright is given a scrapbook for his birthday in April 1914, he thinks he'll fill it with comics, souveniers and funny stories about his family. But then, on 3 August 1914, war breaks out, and his life changes for ever. Archie tells the story of the First World War from his point of view, filling his scrapbook with anecdotes about life in London's East End, newspaper clippings, letters from his dad and uncle who are fighting in France, and his own war-inspired comic strips. Archie's War is funny, touching and accessible, and gives a unique insight into what life was life for a child during the First World War.

This is a book that everyone should read. Picture books are not just for children. Using the device of a scrap book kept by a working class boy during World War I in Great Britain, the war and its toll on the families and those who fought in the war is demonstrated with pathos and humor. Bringing history vividly to life through the artifacts and the changing attitudes of individuals struggling with war's realities, this is a book to ponder as well as to enjoy.
