Description

Great Britain: Monday Morning Writers Group. Very Good. 2012. First Edition. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 9780987785633 Paperback Paperback. Bonfire. The Chestnut Gentleman. The True Story of John McCrae's Journey Through WWI, as Told by His War, Bonfire. Every Commonwealth citizen knows of the WWI poem In Flanders Fields. But what do we really know about its author, Canadian soldier/physician/John McCrae? How much do we know of the actual events leading to the writing of one of the most famous war poems ever written? Why do we wear a red poppy in November? This book is a moving, intimate, and unforgettable look at the writer of the indelible poem, and his world within the wat that shaped our nation. Neither man nor horse knew it yet but their partnership would be tested time and again as WWI unfolded. Bonfire was a character who removed caps, dolled out waffly kisses, and would carry a swagger stick for a quarter of a mile. He was also a steady and loyal mount who would prove to be nothing less than a lifeline for John McCrae; a precious connection to beauty and deceny in an ugly world gone made with war. Illustrated. 150 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.) .
