A BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of this much-loved children's classic.

When the Germans invade Poland in 1939, the Balicki family are suddenly torn apart by war. The children head to Switzerland with street urchin Jan, hoping to track down their parents and clinging to the silver sword as a symbol of hope. On the way, Ruth, Bronia, Edek and Jan must avoid the Burgomaster, who hunts Polish refugees.

This moving account of their epic journey brings to life the reality of a Europe laid waste by war.

Starring Sarah McDonald Hughes, Stephen Hoyle and Hester Cox.
