Books with author Edgar Parin D'Aulaire

Originally published in 1944, this is the story of Ingri d'Aulaires nephew, Per Bugge, a Norwegian boy growing up pre-WWII who learns about freedom and the value of defending it and who eventually becomes a WWII flyer. Through beautiful illustrations in the d'Aulaires unmistakable style, Per's journey from his hometown, to America, and then his return as a pilot, readers will see his will to protect and free his family and homeland from tyranny. On the last two pages of the book extensive historical background information is included on the real-life Per and his adventures. 'You are strong,' said the colonel to Per, 'for you are going into battle not to conquer and make people slaves, but to free them. Out of the darkness grew your spirit which will break the enemy's strength. And you and the others like you will carry the victory on, each of you in his own land. Never in the days of happiness to come must you forget the will to sacrifice which the war has taught you. For then you will have won not only the war but also the peace.'
