Timothy Spall, Brenda Blethyn and Bob Hoskins star in this BBC Radio drama based on the number one bestselling book by award-winning author and former Children's Laureate, Michael Morpurgo.
Michael Morpurgo has written over 120 books, many of them
award-winning. His most well-known work, War Horse, was adapted
into a multi-Oscar nominated film by Steven Spielberg, and a
widely-acclaimed play at the National Theatre.
In 2003 Michael became the third Children's Laureate, a position he
helped create with the poet Ted Hughes.
With his wife, Clare, he set up the charity Farms for City
Children, and for their pioneering work they were both awarded the
MBE in 1999.
The music, folk inspired, brings depth and resonance, hooking the
narrative into a wider perspective, of generations unnamed who have
fought and died
