Farm Boy brings us forward 50 years, with Grandpa not only telling his grandson Joeys story but also a shameful secret which he has held for years — Grandpa has never learned to read and write. The story is set in Iddesleigh in Devon and lovingly evokes the bonds between farm and farmer; grandson and grandfather. The spirit of rural life is superbly captured in Michael Morpurgos writing.
