Stories and features — why this boxed set stands out

Tom Palmer uses accessible, vivid storytelling to make complex historical events approachable for children. Each paperback edition in this children’s series focuses on a different era or perspective: from a young runner uncovering a WWI diary in Armistice Runner to a school trip revelation in D-Day Dog. After the War sensitively explores the experience of a Holocaust survivor rebuilding life in Britain, while Arctic Star captures the bravery of young sailors on treacherous Arctic convoys. Over The Line follows a footballer-turned-soldier, and Angel of Grasmere offers a 19th-century village tale about community resilience.

These are not just stories — they are teaching tools that encourage empathy, historical curiosity and conversations about sacrifice, teamwork and hope. Tom Palmer’s background — growing up in Leeds, working in libraries and bookshops, and being a Ruth Rendell Award recipient — adds authenticity and trust to every title.
