Letters to Henrietta

Letters to Henrietta is the true story of one family's experiences of life before and during the First World War.

For over a decade three brothers wrote letters home to their younger sister, Henrietta, from school and later from the battle fronts of Gallipoli and France.

Their letters provide fascinating evidence of what life was really like at that time.

This book uses their letters to tell the true and moving story of their experiences.

Letters to Henrietta is one of eleven books that make up Extended Reading Level B, for children in Year 6/Primary 7.

This phase of Cambridge Reading aims to develop children's knowledge about language, its vocabulary, forms, structures and styles.

Letters to Henrietta was the winner of the 1999 TES Junior Information Book Award.
