A family is broken apart by the Second World War. Four children set out across Europe to put it back together. Joseph Balicki is separated from his wife and children after his arrest in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. When he escapes from a prison camp and returns home, he finds the city in ruins and his family gone. Before leaving for Switzerland to search for his wife, he gives a silver paper-knife to a ragged orphan boy called Jan, with a message for his children if they are still alive. Ruth, Edek and Bronia are left to fend for themselves amid the rubble of Warsaw. When they meet Jan and recognise the silver sword, they realise their father is alive and searching for them. Together they begin a dangerous journey across postwar Europe in the hope of reunion. At its heart, this is a story about children refusing to give up on one another. The silver sword is small enough to carry in a pocket, but it holds the promise of home, reunion and a family still waiting to be found.

THE SILVER SWORD by Ian Serraillier is an unforgettable World War II survival story.Although the silver sword was only a paper knife, it became the symbol of hope and courage which kept the Balicki children and their orphan friend Jan alive through the four years of occupation when they had to fend for themselves. And afterwards it inspired them to keep going on the exhausting and dangerous journey from war-torn Poland to Switzerland, where they hoped to find their parents.Based on true accounts, this is a moving story of life during and after the Second World War.

Subtle and illuminating life of Chaucer, drawn against the turbulent backdrop of 14th century England.`Brewer brings to his task a full scholarly knowledge of the sources of Chaucerian biography... Of obvious value to students reading Chaucer and to all who read him for pleasure; more advanced scholars will also find in it much toprovoke thought and advance understanding.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENTChaucer's tales, rich in comedy and pathos, have an immediate appeal; they draw freely and vividly from the romance and colour of the times in which he lived, and his world that of the second half of the 14th century is rich in cultural interest. It was a time of new exploration and new individualism, of peasant revolt and passionate religious dissent, and of a remarkable flowering of the arts. Chaucer lived at thevery centre of the action, and this book follows the stages of his career, illuminating with reference to the art and architecture of the time and through reference to his writings, the physicalenvironment and intellectual climate in which he lived. Reissue: first published 1978. DEREK BREWER was Professor of English Literature emeritus, University of Cambridge.
