Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

Say What You Will, Original World War I Book Covers Have a Special Vitality






























4 comments:

  1. These book covers are historic and show a period of conflict and transformation. Therefore, WW1 book coverings are significant because they are artistic and historic artifacts. The book's covers attracted readers with their design, symbolism, and color. Their significance is important today so that readers can connect with the multifaceted aspects of WW1.
    Thank You now I have a reading list. I hope they are online. I wish the book list include the memoirs of Major Charles John Biddle.

  4. Submarine U93 was serialised in the Boy's Own Paper during the Great War. A really good read and deserving of the striking book cover.
