For our last podcast of 2006 we mark the season with a timely interview: Alan Cleaver, co-author (with Lesley Park) of Not a Shot was Fired: Letters from the Christmas Truce 1914, and co-editor of the website www.christmastruce.co.uk. The book is a compilation of actual letters sent home from Allied soldiers druing World War I--first hand accounts of that brief moment when both sides laid down their arms and celebrated Christmas together.

The entry deadline for The 2007 Lulu Blooker Prize is Monday, January 15, 2007. All entries must be postmarked by that day to be considered for the prize!
