Poppy Field

A new picture-book classic celebrating the poppy`s history, from two legends of children`s literature. Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman have teamed up with the Royal British Legion to tell an original story that explains the meaning behind the poppy.In Flanders` fields, young Martens knows his family`s story, for it is as precious as the faded poem hanging in their home. From a poor girl comforting a grieving soldier, to an unexpected meeting of strangers, to a father`s tragic death many decades after treaties were signed, war has shaped Martens`s family in profound ways – it is their history as much as any nation`s.They remember.They grieve. They honour the past. This book also includes a full-colour, illustrated afterword that explains the history that inspired the story.
