Description
By Michael Morpurgo
The ultimate edition of the story that inspired an internationally successful stage play and celebrated film by Steven Spielberg. War Horse, by children's author Michael Morpurgo, is now enriched for iPad by a musical performance, audiobook, interactive timeline and expert interviews.

THE STORY

At the beginning of the First World War, Albert sees his beloved horse, Joey, sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. Too young to join the Army, Albert nevertheless sets out to find his friend, who has been thrust into fighting on both sides of the frontline. Charging through gunfire and hauling ambulances through mud, Joey's loyalty and gentle spirit never waver. This is a story of bravery, kindness and friendship surviving in the toughest times.

AN AMAZING INTERACTIVE TIMELINE

Explore the real stories behind War Horse with a timeline set alongside the beautifully illustrated novel. The timeline presents the key events of the war, including America's decisive involvement in 1917, and brings you closer than ever to the life of a First World War soldier – through images, rotatable objects, video, letters, and dramatically narrated quotes and poems.

WATCH THE PERFORMANCE

Watch the author bring the characters to life in an 80-minute video performance of the story, accompanied by folk musicians. Join in the singing by following the synchronised script, or immerse yourself in the show with a full-screen view. 

INVESTIGATE THE LIFE OF A SOLDIER

What was it like in the trenches? What did the soldiers wear? Why are tanks called tanks? The author and six experts are on hand to give video insights about life in the trenches, and the inspiration for the book. Many of the interviews and photographs were captured in the Devonshire village of Iddesleigh, where the novel begins and ends.

Wonderful!

This is so well done on many facets, and at this price is unbelievable. The shortened reading by the author with accompanying musicians is particularly well done and it's nice to have a choice for the full book with his audio reading as well. The photos and historic videos in the timeline are of interest to those who want to delve into the history. This presentation is not a children's book, but something of interest to adults, young and old.
