A while back the children were given this book by their Grandmother who had been to see the theatre production in London. Already being Michael Morpurgo fans (Alone on a Wide Wide Sea, Born to Run, Kensuke's Kingdom), they enjoyed this story immensely.
Today we went to see the film version.
Well, what can I say except that it was stunningly beautiful and moving. I think I cried just as much in the funny moments as in the war/death scenes . . .
But it was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us, even if we all feel a bit flat and in need of a cup of tea afterwards!
