I ...I like how you've modified your list Brona. I vaguely toyed with indicating whether they were Australian or not- but never got around to it- I think it adds a lot to the list.

I haven't read all that many Morpurgos as yet- it's the best I've read by far. <br /><br />http://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/private-peaceful.htmlLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-11860159982661387692014-06-10T09:28:48.754+10:002014-06-10T09:28:48.754+10:00Thanks for the tip about Private Peaceful.

I really love your book list...Excellent post Brona! I really love your book lists- certainly many that I've meant to read there- and a select few that I have actually read. I've read the lovely Memorial. One book that I can't recommend highly enough is Michael Morpurgo's Private Peaceful. I've read it twice now, and been just as moved the second time. I'll be reading his War Horse in August for the centenary celebrations. At the CBCA conference in Canberra last month I went to the launch of Loyal Creatures, and of course bought a copy. At the conference dinner an actor did a 20 minute performance of the story- it was amazing. There wasn't a dry eye in the house at the end. Of course I haven't got to reading it yet.
