Set on a farm in rural Devon, "Farm Boy" is a collection of Grandpa's reminiscences and stories touchingly told to his grandson. Joey was the last working horse on the farm, and the apple of Grandpa's eye. Joey was sent away from the farm to be a warhorse in WWI. Grandpa had joined the cavalry in order to find, and fight, with Joey. "Farm Boy" brings us forward fifty years with Grandpa not only telling his grandson, Joey's 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. This special new edition superbly captures the spirit of rural life. Less
