A COMPELLING STORY OF ONE TOWN'S WAR A sleepy little country town in Australia, Wombat responds eagerly to the call when war breaks out in 1914. But as the war years unfold, nobody in the town could possibly have foreseen the events that would arise and the impact of those events on the good folk of Wombat. ‘When Wombat Beat The Kaiser’ is a series of stories which follow events that come to dominate the lives of the people of Wombat and the town as a whole. The stories follow some of the town’s men at home and at war as well as the women and children who are left to cope. The engaging and beautifully crafted stories which together make up Wombat’s war take the reader on a journey from Australia being swept up in the conflict through to its aftermath five years later. A truly Australian story, 'When Wombat Beat The Kaiser' is a novel for the old and young, male and female. And for admirers of the human spirit anywhere. In many respects, the battlefields of World War 1 finished almost exactly where they started. Can the same be said of Wombat? Trade Paperback. Size: 180mm - 250mm. 378 pages.
