Press Review Whispering Children ©

“If you do nothing else this weekend, read Peter Minshall’s first book ‘Whispering Children’ which could be described as a ‘polemic novel’.  It’s only sixty pages long, but powerful stuff.

It’s a cracking good adventure story for children aged ten years and upwards.  For adults, it is also good reading, and has a message that sticks in one’s memory long after it has been put back on the bookshelf.  But make sure it is at hand as events will happen in some part of the world that will strike a chord of something that Peter Minshall has alluded to in his short treatise that can be summed up in the phrase ‘blessed are the peace makers’.

He does not advocate pacifism but rather world harmony led by its children.  Indeed, the hero of this seminal novel is a young, wounded soldier, a Scot and an Argyll man.  Equally, he could be described as an urgently needed universal power for good.” Never has a book been so relevant...
