The stranger talks a lot about the sketches that the hero of his story made as a soldier during the First World War and I particularly enjoyed seeing these in Michael Foreman's illustrations. The other illustrations also add to the text: when I finished the book I was compelled to flick back through in order to really admire the artwork.
Overall, this is an excellent book by the master of historical fiction. If you enjoyed this, you really must check out Morpurgo's other war stories. Why not try ''War Horse'', [[The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips by Michael Morpurgo]], or get yourself a copy of my personal favourite [[Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo]]. We also enjoyed [[Cockadoodle-Doo, Mr Sultana! by Michael Morpurgo|Cockadoodle-Doo, Mr Sultana!]]and [[Little Manfred by Michael Morpurgo|Little Manfred]], both by Michael Morpurgo.
