EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of World War II, an unexpected moment of kindness unfolded in the English countryside. In this illustration from circa 1940, we encounter Peter, a brave Royal Air Force pilot, and Little Bo Peep. As the skies above filled with the drone of aircraft engines and the sounds of battle, Peter's keen eyes spotted something unusual below. To his surprise, he recognized the familiar figure of Little Bo Peep, frantically searching for her lost sheep amidst the rolling hills of Trellick. With a sense of duty and compassion, Peter descended from the heavens to offer his assistance. He communicated the location of the lost flock to Little Bo Peep, allowing her to reunite with her beloved sheep. This heartwarming scene, taken from a children's book, serves as a gentle reminder that even in the darkest of times, acts of kindness and unity can bring light to the lives of those around us. This illustration, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, captures the essence of hope and resilience during the 2nd World War. It is a poignant reminder that even in the midst of conflict, the human spirit remains unbroken, and the bonds of community and compassion endure.
