I can't wait to watch the movie today, it doesn't have the most positive imdb rating but it's not unusual for me to disagree with reviews 😅 'Waiting for Anya' is based on a true story, and Morpurgo describes it as "history, just history from which you must learn.”ĭespite being suitable for younger readers (approximately 9/10), I could read Morpurgo's books forever, and would recommend them to anyone anytime. This is a story of bravery and selflessness, history told with meaning and heart. Jo must find a way to get the children safely over the border, but he can't do it on his own, and it's only a matter of time before someone finds out. But when German soldiers start patrolling the mountains, the children are trapped, and more are on the way. When Jo discovers that Jewish children are being smuggled over the mountains he shepherds on, he knows he must help. This coming-of-age novel is set during WWII in Lescun, France (on the Spannish Border). I think Michael Morpurgo's books were the first ones to start chipping away at my heart, because wow he's done it again.
This was what happened when you lost a war and the enemy occupied your country." This was the enemy his father had fought against.
Now and for the first time he understood the terrible danger that faced Widow Horcada and Benjamin if they were ever caught. "It was only at that moment that Jo realised that the war had come at last to Lescun, to his valley. Every year he and his family spend time in the Scilly Isles, the setting for three of his books. He is also a father and grandfather, so children have always played a large part in his life. He was knighted in the 2018 for his services to literature and charity. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL) in 2004. In 2003, he was advanced to an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). In 1999 this work was publicly recognised when he and his wife were invested a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to youth. They have three farms in Devon, Wales and Gloucestershire, open to inner city school children who come to stay and work with the animals. He left teaching after ten years in order to set up 'Farms for City Children' with his wife. After a brief and unsuccessful spell in the army, he took up teaching and started to write. Born in St Albans, Hertfordshire, in 1943, he was evacuated to Cumberland during the last years of the Second World War, then returned to London, moving later to Essex. He also writes his own screenplays and libretti for opera.
