Going to the Wars por John Verney

Interesting account of a soldier's experience first in the Yeomanry, and then in the special forces, in World War II. Verney seems to have a great deal of humour regarding his service, since a great deal of it went wrong, including the only special forces mission he was on. In fact, that mission went spectacularly wrong in so many respects, it's a wonder he lived to tell the tale.

Friday's Tunnel por John Verney

Friday Callendar enjoys digging. He creates a tunnel deep into a hill on his family's property. An organization of foreign spies uses the tunnel to hide a dangerous element. Friday and his sister, February, stumble into this secret plot. There are many twists and turns in the story and you really don't know what's happening until the end.

Then one English woman fixes some unidentifiable slop but she grates a ton of cheese on top. The king loves it. "Everything is good if it is hot and has lots of grated cheese on top." He says and he makes her his queen.… (más)
