Sheltie Saves the Day by Peter Clover
Ukraine was liberated from German wartime occupation by 1944 but remained prisoner to its consequences for much longer. This study examines Soviet Ukraine's transition from war to 'peace' in the long aftermath of World War I. Filip Slaveski explores the challenges faced by local Soviet authorities in reconstructing central Ukraine, including feeding rapidly growing populations in post-war famine. Drawing on recently declassified Soviet sources, Filip Slaveski traces the previously unknown bitter struggle for land, food and power among collective farmers at the bottom of the Soviet social ladder, local and central authorities. He reveals how local authorities challenged central ones for these resources in pursuit of their own vision of rebuilding central Ukraine, undermining the Stalinist policies they were supposed to implement and forsaking the farmers in the process. In so doing, Slaveski demonstrates how the consequences of this battle shaped post-war reconstruction, and continue to resonate in contemporary Ukraine, especially with the ordinary people caught in the middle.
Clover, Peter: - Peter Clover keeps a notebook with him all the time, so that whenever an idea hits him he can write it down or draw a picture of it. He lived in Exmoor, England for a time, where he saw a variety of horses. This led him to write and illustrate a highly popular series about an adventurous pony named Sheltie. Clover now lives on the southwestern coast of England, and when he's not busy writing or illustrating he likes to stay in shape. He claims he can still do a back flip while he tosses a pancake in the air.
