Amazing Grace: The Story of the Hymn par Linda Granfield

Includes sheet music for the song with multiple verses. It is a biography of Newton. It includes just a bit of the history of the song after he wrote it. End papers show a map of the slave trade triangle.

Where Poppies Grow: A World War I Companion par Linda Granfield

A shorter version of the DK Eyewitness series, suitable for a slightly younger audience. It's roughly organized chronologically, with topics covered in a single spread. Scrapbook style illustrations and photographs are a bit distracting but are relevant and informative. With an index.
