Description
John Oxenham wrote the novel 1914, first published by Methuen in London on September 15, 1916, with a second edition the same month. Oxenham was a prolific novelist, and the front pages list dozens of his earlier books and verse collections. The story opens on the early morning of July 25, 1914.
John Dare steps onto the back lawn of the Red House at Willstead as the mantel clock strikes six. The day is gray and raw, with heavy dew on the grass. His son Noel's light had burned late the night before. Within days, Europe would be at war, and the quiet household stands on the edge of it. The novel follows an English family as the Great War breaks over their ordinary life.
