I love all things WWI and WWII history, which explains my current book {The Paris Wife} and television obsession {Downton Abbey}. I'm sure you have seen the trendy posters...

:: Keep Calm and Carry On :: 
:: Keep Calm and Blog :: 
:: Keep Calm and Drink Coffee ::

... and all the other parodies. Well, did you know the original phrase has a significant history? This poster truly brought about hope that still resonates today. Check out the fascinating story behind the phrase, font and design.
