Description - Line of Fire by ,Morpurgo,,Ardizzone Barroux

A remarkable find in a rubbish heap... One winter morning, Barroux was walking down a street in Paris when he made an extraordinary find: the real diary of a soldier in the First World War. Barroux rescued the diary from a rubbish heap and illustrated the soldier's words. In this striking black and white graphic novel adaptation of a 100-year-old diary, the events of the first two months of WWI are given fresh meaning and relevance to modern audiences. This is living history in the form of one man's incredibly powerful and moving story that is silhouetted against the historical events that formed and transformed the world we live in today. AUTHOR: Barroux is an established and popular illustrator in France, Canada and the USA. Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse is one of the UK's most eminent children's authors Sarah Ardizzone has twice won the Marsh Award for children's literature in translation b/w illustrations
