This is an incredibly impressive book, which is set in 1940’s Britain. Willie Beech is evacuated to a cottage near a church and graveyard. Willie has never visited the countryside before and is scared by cows, squirrels and even sheep!
An excellent novel with tremendous features and devices, which all contribute to the reason why you should read it. Eventhough there are 304 pages, I read it in 1 day! It is superb! Read it – you don’t know what you’re missing out on!
