OverviewA new illustrated story celebrating the poppy's history. Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman have teamed up with the Royal British Legion to tell an original story that explains the meaning behind the poppy. In Flanders' fields, young Martens knows his family's story, for it is as precious as the faded poem hanging in their home. From a poor girl comforting a grieving soldier, to an unexpected meeting of strangers, to a father's tragic death many decades after treaties were signed, war has shaped Martens's family in profound ways - it is their history as much as any nation's. They remember. They grieve. They honour the past. This book also includes a full-colour, illustrated afterword that explains the history that inspired the story. 50p per paperback from the sale of POPPY FIELD in the UK will be paid to Royal British Legion Trading Limited which gives its taxable profits to The Royal British Legion (Charity no. 219279) Full Product DetailsAuthor: Michael Morpurgo , Michael ForemanPublisher: Scholastic Imprint: Scholastic Dimensions: Width: 20.20cm , Height: 1.00cm , Length: 26.60cm Weight: 0.360kg ISBN: 9780702319044ISBN 10: 070231904 Pages: 80 Publication Date: 26 October 2023 Recommended Age: From 07 to 11 years Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
