Maudite soit la guerre, by Didier Daeninckx, illustrated by Pef

It is 1917. One child sets off to deliver a letter to his father in the trenches. The story of his secret and moving journey through inhospitable landscapes takes up the cry of one daring, real-life French war memorial: “A curse on war!”. This astounding but delicate fiction denounces war as a life-breaker. With a two-page document section at the end of the book.
