A special new edition of Michael Foreman's award-winning memoirs about his wartime childhood.

'I woke up when the bomb came through the roof. It came through at an angle, overflew my bed by inches, bounced up over my mother's bed, hit the mirror, dropped into the grate and exploded up the chimney.'

War Boy is a modern classic about a young boy growing up during World War II. Life during wartime is vividly brought to life in this personal story filled with childhood memories – from hiding in air-raid shelters to playing in bombed-out ruins.

Michael Foreman’s numerous books for children have earned him widespread recognition as one of the world’s leading illustrators. He has regularly collaborated with Terry Jones, Michael Morpurgo and others while several of his own books are also considered modern classics.

Over his career, Michael Foreman has illustrated a vast range of books from Shakespeare and Dickens to Terry Jones and Michael Morpurgo. His worldwide travels provide ideas and locations for his books which, for decades, have frequently promoted peace and concern for the environment. He has won many prestigious awards, both as author and illustrator, including the Kate Greenaway Medal twice.
