TORO, TORO is the story of a young boy growing up in Andalucia, Spain, on a farm rearing bulls for the bull ring. Antonito hand rears a little black calf & they become firm friends, but the boy doesn't yet understand the fate of the black bulls
- the corrida & death. Later, when he learns of the horrors of the bull fight, he frees Paco, the black bull, & rides with him into the hills. There they witness the bombing of their village (it's the year 1936, & the Spanish Civil War has started) & Antonito cannot go back
- his family & the farm are destroyed, & Paco has run off, wild with fright. He decides to stay in the hills, where he meets up with the Resistance fighters. During the War, Antonito hears stories round the campfire of the wonderful black bull, who becomes a symbol of freedom for them all. Could this really be Paco? But no-one has ever seen him. After the war, when Antonito is working as a muleteer in the mountains, he falls asleep & dreams of Paco. In the morning, he wakes to see hoof prints on the ground beside him...A delightful story, full of nostalgia & drama in the author's own inimitable style. Illustrated by Michael Foreman.
