Can modern kids cope with tales of bloodshed?
How children's war fiction has changed (BBC News Magazine - 12 February 2011)

"How does an author make a subject as brutal as war appeal to a child? A new exhibition suggests young readers today get a less sanitised version of the horrors of warfare ..."

The Once Upon A Wartime - Classic War Stories for Children exhibition runs from 11 February to 30 October 2011, at the Imperial War Museum, in London.

YouTube: video describing the exhibition

War through a child's eye (the five books featured in the exhibition):
