Produktbeschreibung
This is the story of the experiences of two brothers growing up at the turn of the twentieth century and of the tumultuous events of the First World War. It is a powerful account, stimulating both an emotional and intellectual response, which embraces many different subject areas. The text inspires a range of responses - artistic, musical and historical, as well as providing a wealth of linguistic and literary features for study. Michael Morpurgo presents contrasts between the natural, timeless environment of a Devon childhood and the violent realities of war, through the eyes of a young, sympathetic narrator, Tommo Peaceful. His choice to portray the experience of training, fighting and dying in war time so sensitively ensures that the text makes difficult and challenging ideas.
