A thoughtful, moving story that will cause you to pause and think and rejoice without sappy manipulation so common in contemporary children's literature. ![]() Members Reviews: Thoughtful story w/ excellent narration After having lived in the Netherlands for several years, I was delighted to enjoy this authentic book with my children. The Verhagen family, who live in the old windmill called the Winged Watchman, are a memorable set of individuals whose lives powerfully demonstrate the resilience of those who suffer but do not lose faith. Every element of occupied Holland is united in a story of courage and hope: a hidden Jewish child, an underdiver, a downed RAF pilot, an imaginative, daring underground hero, and the small things of family life which surprisingly carry on in the midst of oppression. ![]() Listen to audiobook in full for free on Title: The Winged Watchman Author: Hilda van Stockum Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-15 Publisher: Bethlehem Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: This acclaimed story of World War II is rich in suspense, characterization, plot, and spiritual truth. ![]()
