Publisher's Summary

Over the course of a story that is both intense and poignant, Morpurgo takes us on a journey through the very darkest times of the First World War and the horrors faced by those who endured it, be they man or beast.

Beautifully performed by Dan Stevens, War Horse has taken the world by storm. First published back in 1982, the book was adapted to the stage and was performed at the National Theatre back in 2007. It's well-deserved success means that it has now gone into it's third year at the New London Theatre and will be later debuting on Broadway in New York City.

At the outbreak of World War I, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. He's soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man's land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to the trenches to find him and bring him home.

Excellent story

I listened to it with my 12 year-old grandson, we were both enthralled! The story is told from the horse’s point of view. He has many harrowing experiences.

Heartwarming

Written from the horse's point of view, it's must listen for anyone who has never experienced the affection and comfort a horse can offer.
