The Danish Peace Academy
The Christmas Truce
By Aaron Shepard ABOUT THE STORY: The Christmas Truce of 1914 is one of the most remarkable incidents of World War I and perhaps of all military history. Starting in some places on Christmas Eve and in others on Christmas Day, the truce covered as much as two- thirds of the British-German front, with thousands of soldiers taking part. Perhaps most remarkably, it grew out of no single initiative but sprang up in each place spontaneously and independently. Nearly everything described here is drawn from first-hand accounts in letters and diaries of the time. Britishisms include using "Nowell" instead of "Noel," and "football" instead of "soccer." Visit my home page at http://www.aaronshep.com to learn more about the story, get a copy in Web format, find a reader's theater script version, read more stories, or contact the author. Aaron Christmas Day, 1914 My dear sister Janet, It is 2:00 in the morning and most of our men are asleep in their dugouts yet I could not sleep myself before writing to you of the wonderful events of Christmas Eve. In truth, what happened seems almost like a fairy tale, and if I hadn't been through it myself, I would scarce believe it. Just imagine: While you and the family sang carols before the fire there in London, I did the same with enemy soldiers here on the battlefields of France! As I wrote before, there has been little serious fighting of late. The first battles of the war left so many dead that both sides have held back until replacements could come from home. So we have mostly stayed in our trenches and waited.

The Maiden of Northland
- Book Review, by Shepard, Aaron
Annotation

An incident from the Finnish national epic, The Kalevala, in which two friends become rivals for the hand of the maiden of Northland.
From the Publisher
Lovely Aila hs been called a blossom sweet to smell, a fruit ripe to pluck. To her door come Vainamoinen, ancient sage, and his faithful friend Ilmarinen, master blacksmith, each hoping to win her love. But little do the heroes know that Aila and her mother have agreed that she will wed neither of them. Full color.
From The Critics Children's Literature - Dr. Judy Rowen Vainamoinen, the great magician and sage, bemoans his lack of a wife. He learns of the beautiful Aila, the maiden of Northland, and sets off to win her as his bride. His dear friend, the smithy Ilmarinen, has long planned to seek Aila's hand, so the two friends find themselves in a contest. The maiden's mother, Louhi, has great magic at her disposal as well, and almost succeeds in tricking the two friends. Written in free verse, this retelling of the tale draws on the Kalevela, Finland's great national epic. Intricate, gouache illustrations adorn each page and colorful borders encircle the text.

The Princess Mouse: A Tale of Finland
- Book Review, by Aaron Shepard, Leonid Gore (Illustrator)
From School Library Journal
From Booklist

K-Gr. 3. Mikko and his brother are now old enough to marry. Following family marriage tradition, each cuts down a tree and follows the direction it pointsin Mikko's case, to the forest. To his surprise, there's a house. More surprising is its inhabitanta mouse whose kindness wins his heart. Alas, the family can't see beyond her fur, and Mikko's disdaining brother kicks his beloved mouse into the stream. When an enchanted princess emerges, true love triumphs. Shepard's charmingly droll version of a Finnish folktale combines classic elements with unexpected, witty detailsamong them, an outspoken mouse who sings a little song in the story (lyrics and melody appended). The jewel-toned art has beautiful luminescence; the elongated, somewhat blocky look of the characters reinforces the fantasy; and the mice are downright irresistible. An endnote identifies story sources and a Web site for a readers' theater script of the tale. Quirky, enjoyable, and easily adapted for storytime. Shelle Rosenfeld
Card catalog description

A retelling of a Finnish folk tale about a young man who plans to marry his mouse sweetheart.
