Product Description

Product Description
There was once a powerful country ruled by a General who decided to conquer all his neighbours and rule as much as he could. This is a story demonstrating that the winner of a war is not necessarily the powerful and aggressive one.

About the Author
There was once a powerful country ruled by a General who decided to conquer all his neighbours, and rule as much as he could. This plan worked, until there was only one small jovial country left. When the soldiers went there to subjugate them, they were persuaded out of their uniforms, into the taverns, and onto the dance floors. However many times they were sent home and replaced by new recruits, every soldier was suborned; and the returning military brought with them the traditions and music of the conquered nation. Just who has conquered whom?

5.0 out of 5 stars A fab contemporary take on the age-old message of the North Wind and the Sun., 3 Aug 2007
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Conquerors (Paperback)
This is a great story about an army that is trying to take over the world and enforce its ways upon resisting populations. The last and littlest country that they invade, instead of trying to repel the agressors, welcome the soldiers and are so hospitable that the invading army talk, sing and play with the host population. As the invading soldiers returned home they took with them the ways and customs they had learned in the little country and it could be debated therefore which country had actually ended up the conqueror! There are clear and colourful McKee pictures of soldiers parading smartly in red coats and blue caps, just right for a 3+ boy who likes to play armies and fighting, yet the message is clear, that with gentle persuasion and guidance far more can be achieved than through brute force. A winner for all children 3-6.
