    <body><![CDATA[Lyrical and touching tale set in WWII, with the climax taking place during Dunkirk.  While there's a danger here of crossing over into sentimentality, for me this lovely tale transformed what could have been pat sentiments into something very heartfelt and noble.  It's the kind of tale children will...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3913405">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My copy was published in March of 1965.  It has no ISBN so I could not find it.  This is a story of bravery and sacrifice.  The scene is set in Essex, England.  The Snow Goose convoys a small boat through the smoke of Dunkirk to help in the rescue of the stranded British fighting men.

    <body><![CDATA[It's a short book and a quick read largely based on a true story. Not to give it away, but there's a guy, a girl, a bird (the snow goose) and the noble effort by average Englishmen to help in the evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940. A very moving read.
