This enhanced edition of Code Name Verity includes exclusive material and bonuses. It features the novel itself, plus:– ‘Something Worth Doing’, the short story which inspired the novel and which has never before been published in the United Kingdom; – An interview with author Elizabeth Wein filmed, exclusive to this edition; – Exclusive interview footage with Elizabeth, filmed at The Shuttleworth Collection; – A fascinating documentary film called The Verity Collection, dedicated to Elizabeth's personal WW2 collection; Two young friends become inseparable during World War II. If there weren't so many unsettling changes around them and between them, the pair would be the perfect sort of romantic couple. An aristocratic Master of Arts and an accomplished artist might seem like the wrong pairing, but even students can open up a surprising ulterior motive or two. But all the wonderful togetherness only lasts until an especially critical mission in France goes horribly wrong. One must find a way to escape the situation before both of them are lost — and lives plunged deeper into oblivion. Readers get an intriguing insight into what goes through a soldier's mind, in their hours spent pondering escape routes, deadly counter-attacks, key landmarks, and whether they will survive. They meet our heroes chiefly through their letters, as they negotiate their escapade. On these pages, they learn even more about Ned and Vera's colorful histories, from their divergent childhoods to their tender relationship. Mostly, however, it is their individual faiths that provide the fuel necessary for what leads to a perilous and ultimately rewarding trek. All that everyone on either side cares if they live or die, and seems almost beyond any reasonable control, can indeed make impossible the rash decisions which may (and often do) lead to an escape. Code Name Verity is a gripping worksheet, combining a work founded inside fiction with portions of twentieth century history. It is an original tale in every way, an addictive read suited for young adults, parents and anyone else seeking both surely pages of intrigue and a peek into a strangely interesting historical epoch. And, bidding adieu to the real-estate question on Wednesdays? Mr McKiver has managed to earn himself a heater of food during all of this turmoil! Borrow securely and delightfully; and return when this side-splitting adventure is at an end, where you will be aware of the sheer historical magnitude of Elizabeth Wein's remarkable achievement.
