| Summary |
A hundred years after the fighting began, eleven acclaimed writers have taken inspiration from eleven objects connected with the war. A toy soldier. A butter dish. A compass. Mundane objects, perhaps, but to the remarkable authors in this collection, artifacts such as these have inspired stories that go to the heart of the human experience of war. |
