Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for
every child. Tom tucked a blanket round him, drew up a chair by the
fire and watched Willie fall asleep. The tales he had heard about
evacuees didn't seem to fit Willie. 'Ungrateful' and 'wild' were
the adjectives he had heard used, or just plain 'homesick'. He was
quite unprepared for this timid, sickly little specimen. Britain,
1940. With World War Two raging all around, young children are
being sent from their homes in the city to the countryside for
safety. When eight-year-old Willie Beech first arrives on Tom
Oakley's doorstep, neither are quite sure what to make of each
another. Brought up in terrible poverty, Willie is terribly shy,
and totally unprepared for village life - but the gruff-but-gentle
'Mister Tom' quickly takes him under his wing. Neither he nor
Willie could ever have predicted the journey they will go on
together - nor the unbreakable bond that will be formed. Winner of
the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, and rightly hailed as a true
classic of children's literature, Goodnight Mister Tom is a
beautifully told, deeply moving story about the power of
friendship, kindness, hope - and love. 'Everyone's idea of a
smash-hit novel: full-blown characters to love and hate, moments of
grief and joy, and a marvellous story that knows just how to grab
the emotions' - Guardian
