The Dancing Bear

Mai 1915. Sur une île déserte de l'archipel des Scilly, un pêcheur et son fils découvrent une jeune fille blessée et hagarde, à moitié morte de faim et de soif. Elle ne parvient à prononcer qu'un seul mot : Lucy. D'où vient-elle ? Est-elle une sirène, ou plutôt, comme le laisse entendre la rumeur, une espionne au service des Allemands ?
De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, le Lusitania, l'un des plus rapides et splendides paquebots de son temps, quitte le port de New York. À son bord, la jeune Merry, accompagnée de sa mère, s'apprête à rejoindre son père blessé sur le front et hospitalisé en Angleterre...

L'histoire du Lusitania, torpillé pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et dont le destin tragique fait écho à celui du Titanic, a inspiré l'auteur de Cheval de guerre et du Royaume de Kensuké.

 Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo needs no introduction. He is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011.

Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.

 He started the charity Farms for City Children in 1976 with his wife, Clare, aimed at relieving the "poverty of experience. many young children feel in inner city and urban areas. Michael is also a patron of over a dozen other charities. Living in Devon, listening to Mozart and working with children have provided Michael with the ideas and incentive to write his stories. He spends half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories for children. "For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out - the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers." Michael received an OBE in December 2006 for his services to literature.
