La lettre de mon grand-père

This first new novel in two years from the Nation's Favourite Storyteller is a sweeping story of love and rescue - an unforgettable journey to the Greek island of Ithaca, and back in time to World War Two.

 Australian-Greek girl Nandi travels to her ancestors' home in Ithaca, and discovers - through a friendship with an extremely unusual flying fish - the extraordinary story of her great-aunt Elena; of how she fell in love, in the hardest of times, and how of how she became an unsung hero of World War Two.

 But Elena has gone missing, and Nandi has to find her. In her search, she will discover that Elena was an even greater hero than she thought - and still is.

 Nandi's story is a beautiful and inspiring tale of personal discovery, of love and place and belonging, threaded through with the quiet heroism of everyday people. Stunningly illustrated throughout by acclaimed artist George Butler, and full of magic, myth and mystery, it is a classic Morpurgo novel that will move and thrill every reader who loved Private Peaceful and War Horse, and combines all the hallmarks of this beloved Master Storyteller.

Private Peaceful

Bertie passe une enfance solitaire en Afrique du Sud, jusqu'au jour où il fait une rencontre extraordinaire : un lionceau blanc, orphelin. Ils deviennent inséparables. Mais ils grandissent... Bertie est envoyé en pension en Angleterre et le lion blanc est vendu à un cirque. Avant de quitter son ami, le garçon lui fait une promesse : "Je te retrouverai. N'oublie jamais que je te retrouverai." Une magnifique histoire d'amitié et de fidélité où se confondent les rêves et la réalité.

Le lion blanc

Omar, seize ans, fuit son pays ravagé par la guerre. Il embarque sur un bateau pour rejoindre l'Angleterre. En pleine tempête, alors que tout semble perdu et que son embarcation se renverse, il perd connaissance. Il se réveille miraculeusement sur un plage, où il rencontre de drôles de petits personnages qui l'appellent Gulliver...

Les Voyages extraordinaires d'Omar

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.
