A propos de cet article

A fine first printing WITHOUT the usual tanning to the pages which are still white and clean, having a crease to page five, in glazed pictorial boards by Victor Ambrus with super sharp corners, having the merest tad of toning,being very gently pushed to spine tips. How this iconic book has survived in this gift condition I know not, given that most of this low print run original publication was for libraries. This superb copy is SIGNED by Michael Morpurgo to the title page, a most elusive signature indeed. Rare to find signed to the title page therefore NOT a laid in bookplate! Superb attributes. BOXED INSURED DESPATCH.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A powerful tale of war, redemption, and a hero's journey--now available in paperback!

In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?
