The Anzac Billy
Publisher details
Synopsis
During World War I, Australian and New Zealand soldiers on the front were sent Christmas care packages in a tin billy. The Anzac Billy is the heartwarming story of a little boy packing a billy with all his father’s favourite things – added to by mum and grandma – even though he realises there is no way that the billy can actually go to a particular soldier.
- Tender, moving and very evocative of a time when people just had to wait and hope.
- Perfectly researched, exquisitely rendered, no reader could fail to be moved by this story of Australian and New Zealand soldiers.
- Published in time for Anzac Day to capitalise on interest in the wartime history of Australia and New Zealand.
