Poppy Field

Michael Morpurgo

A beautifully 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.
