This animated film won Best Animated Film Award at the Cinemagic Festival in Belfast 2002. It is also the winner of the Smarties Prize. This is a special new edition paperback with full-colour artwork and a special new edition of Michael Foreman's classic story. "War Game" is the partly fictionalised account of three young men's involvement in the true story of the football game played between German and English troops in no man's land on Christmas Day in 1914. Using a mixture of factual illustrations and Foreman's stunning watercolour pictures, the book begins with a football game in the fields of Suffolk, and follows their journey to the fields of Flanders and the realisation of their dream to play for England. This is a touching and emotive story for children and adults to treasure.
