Julia Eccleshare's comment:
In this masterpiece for all ages, best-selling illustrator David McKee has created a miniature morality tale. The General leads his army into one country after another, subjugating the population and bringing them under his command; they are the Conquerors. Finally, there is just one tiny country left to invade and the General leads his men forth. But here there is no conquest. Instead the soldiers join the people and soon two countries are co-existing rather than fighting. Beautifully understated this nonetheless packs a punch.

Synopsis
The Conquerors by David MckeeThere once was a large country that was ruled by a General. The General would take his army and attack all the countries around him until they were conquered. Eventually, there was only one small country left to conquer. However, this one did not resist but welcomed the soldiers - leading to a quite unexpected result!
