DISCOVER AND CHERISH THIS BEAUTIFUL HARDBACK 40th ANNIVERSARY
ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE BELOVED MODERN CLASSIC, WAR HORSE.
Before the Steven Spielberg film, before the National Theatre
production, there was the classic and nation's favourite children's
novel... In the deadly chaos of the First World War, one horse
witnesses the reality of battle from both sides of the trenches.
Bombarded by artillery, with bullets knocking riders from his back,
Joey tells a powerful story of the truest friendships surviving in
terrible times. One horse has the seen the best and the worst of
humanity. The power of war and the beauty of peace. This is his
story. With a stunning new cover from fine arts photographer, Nine
Francois and chapter illustrations from award-winning war artist,
George Butler. National treasure, Michael Moropurgo's, War Horse
was adapted by Steven Spielberg as a major motion picture with
Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The National
Theatre production opened in 2007 and has enjoyed successful runs
in the West End and on Broadway.
This award-winning, double-sided foldout book takes you on a
fascinating journey down through the layers of the Earth, all the
way to the planet's core and out the other side. *Picked by the
Guardian as one of '15 Modern Classics' books* When you're out
walking around, whether on the city streets or a country trail,
there's always so much to see and hear. But do you ever stop and
look down? Have you ever wondered what's going on deep in the
ground under your feet? There are so many amazing sights to see!
One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst
the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside. The
underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows,
layers of rock and the planet's molten core, each running
seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering
subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The
Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore
their world through a detailed learning experience. And its
foldout, laperello (or concertina) style, which extends to 2.5
metres in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore
over for hours. Explore even more of the world with The Skies Above
My Eyes (August 2018) and The World Around Me (October 2020),
companion books from the Look Closer series.
