Description

In this tale the storyteller revisits the landscape of his memories, his boyhood in the village of Bradwell fifty years ago. The village is a stone's throw from the sea, with a gull on every chimney stack, and is peopled by quirky characters such as the three Stebbing sisters, the white moustachioed Colonel Burton and Bennie the village thug.

Reviews

"Heartfelt and unforgettable." (The Irish Times) "Bailey's line drawings have a lovely old-fashioned quality appropriate to the remembrances inspired by Morpurgo's boyhood." (School Library Journal) "From the first sentence of a Michael Morpurgo book, you know you are in the hands of a natural storyteller." (Guardian)"
