Archie is jealous because his big brother Oliver has returned from a party with a party bag full of goodies, including a wonderful silver windmill.

When Mum suggests that Archie gather his own bag of treasures, he sets about collecting enthusiastically; first a shiny conker, then a red leaf, some juicy blackberries, some teasels &, best of all, a beautiful glass marble. But then a magpie spies the glittering marble & steals Archie’s bag.

Who will help Archie! Who’d have thought it’s his brother who comes up trumps.

This lovely story about sharing & caring is perfect for jealous siblings, & is a fine addition to the Storytime series.

Douglas Haig's popular image as an unimaginative butcher is unenviable & unmerited. In fact, he masterminded a British-led victory over a continental opponent on a scale that has never been matched before or since. Contrary to myth, Haig was not a cavalry-obsessed, blinkered conservative, as satirised in " Oh! What a Lovely War" & " Blackadder Goes Forth". Fascinated by technology, he pressed for the use of tanks, enthusiastically embraced air power, & encouraged the use of new techniques involving artillery & machine-guns. Above all, he presided over a change in infantry tactics from almost total reliance on the rifle towards all-arms, multi-weapons techniques that formed the basis of British army tactics until the 1970s. Prior re-evaluations of Haig's achievements have largely been limited to monographs & specialist writings. Walter Reid has written the first biography of Haig that takes into account modern military scholarship, giving a more rounded picture of the private man than has previously been available. What emerges is a picture of a comprehensible human being, not necessarily particularly likeable, but honourably ambitious, able & intelligent, & the man more than any other responsible for delivering victory in 1918. ...
