Is the silver sword based on a true story?

Answer 1

I have the novel and at the end it says it's based upon true fact, but some places and people are fictional. If you own the book, check the last few pages. I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Yes, the Silver Sword is based on a true story. It is inspired by the experiences of Ian Serralier, a British author who worked with war-displaced children in Europe during World War II. His interactions with these children influenced his novel, which tells the story of siblings separated from their parents during the war, and their quest for reunion.
