About the Books
Each of the eight titles showcases Michael Morpurgo's gift for blending history, emotion and adventure into stories that resonate long after the final page. Waiting for Anya follows a wartime tale of bravery in the Pyrenees, while Twist of Gold traces a perilous journey from famine-struck Ireland to the American goldfields. My Friend Walter introduces a ghostly ancestor with a taste for mischief, and From Hereabout Hill gathers a trio of moving short stories about family, loss and the countryside. Little Foxes explores a boy's bond with the natural world, The Nine Lives of Montezuma follows the adventures of a much-loved farm cat, The War of Jenkins' Ear is a wry school story with unexpected depth, and The Marble Crusher rounds out the set with warmth and gentle humour. Together, these eight standalone paperbacks demonstrate the range and emotional depth that have made Morpurgo one of the most decorated children's authors of his generation. Each book can be read independently, ideal for dipping in and out of, for classroom reading corners, or for a child working through a reading list.
