A heart-lifting, heartbreaking story by Michael Morpurgo, the
second-biggest children's author in the UK. In the Imperial War
Museum is a wooden Dachshund, carved by a German prisoner of war
for the children of the British family with which he stayed after
the fighting ended. This is the story of how it got there... When
the Bismarck sinks, one of the only German survivors is taken on
board a British ship as a prisoner of war. Sent to live with a host
family, Walter must adapt to a new way of life, in the heart of an
enemy country. Gradually, though, he finds a friend in ten-year-old
Grace. So when the time finally comes to go back to Germany, it's
an emotional parting, with Walter leaving Grace with only a carved
wooden dog to remember him by. The question is, will Walter and
Grace ever meet again? In 1966, with the World Cup coming to
Britain, that opportunity may just have come along.
