Star-Spangled Banner

First-time author Amy Winstead skilfully weaves a historically accurate, yet fictional account of Francis Scott Key and the British bombarding of Fort McHenry.

The story is told from the perspective of a young boy and his brother who accidentally became ensnared in the intrigue of the historic night and culminates in the writing of our national anthem.

Dramatic and rich watercolour illustrations, accurate to the smallest detail, bring the action to life.
