The magical sequel to ' War Horse' soon to be a major motion picture. Joey was the last working horse on the farm & the apple of Grandpa's eye. In War Horse Joey was sent away from the farm to be a warhorse in WWI. Grandpa had joined the cavalry in order to find & fight with Joey. Farm Boy brings us forward fifty years with Grandpa not only telling his grandson Joey's story but also a 'shameful secret' which he has held for years... The story is set in Iddesleigh in Devon & lovingly evokes the bonds between farm & farmer; grandson & grandfather. The spirit of rural life is superbly captured in both Michael Morpurgo's writing & Michael Foreman's illustrations. An irresistible title from acclaimed author-illustrator partnership.
