Quatrième de couverture

In King Lion's country there is very little food. His greedy neighbour the Fat King refuses to help, even though his own people have more than enough to eat. So war is declared. Will it end in peace - or just lots of peas?

A modern classic, War and Peas is an early work by Michael Foreman. It is a powerful and percipient fable for our time, highly imaginative and intelligent.

'Michael Foreman conjures art to enchant.' T.E.S.
'Michael Foreman has a flair for turning a book into a special occasion.' Quentin Blake

Présentation de l'éditeur

King Lion is sad because it has not rained in his country for too long, and now not ony will nothing grow, but also the land is too hard to dig. He decides to ask his rich (fat) neighbour for help. But he is mistaken for a beggar and a robber, and is pursued home by Fat King and his army . . . and his supply trucks. The soldiers in their trucks are so heavy, that hey leave deep ruts in the land, and when it finally rains the land is well prepared for seeds.
It's War, but not as we know it - or should that be Peace? Or even peas?!!
