Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Snowman by Michael Morpurgo, inspired by the original story by Ransom Riggs, read by Richard Armitage. However, far from being a threat, the yetis seem to know Ashley and start to worship him as their king.In the tradition of Goodnight Mr Tom, Carrie's War, and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, King of the Cloud Forests is a novel that takes children to the heart of a tumultuous period in history.

It wasn’t believable because this story isn’t realistic, doesn’t seem realistic, but I enjoyed reading as I escaped reality. I first read it a frightening 30 years ago, so this is a re-read of a treasured paperback, signed by the author with the inscription,"Love from the Yetis". Look out for Morpurgo’s other war fiction including War Horse, Friend or Foe, Waiting for Anya and An Eagle in the Snow. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.As he grows from fiery kitten to grand old tomcat he is always special, independent and a law unto himself. Michael Morpurgo is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike.

Alfie and his fisherman father find a girl on an uninhabited island in the Scillies, lost and with no memory of who she is, or how she came to be there. He is also the author of WAR HORSE, which has been made into a Tony Award-winning Broadway play and a Golden Globe-nominated film. We are opposite sides of the same coin and, although his work has never influenced mine, I admire the eloquent, considered voice of his best books.He has won numerous awards including those voted for by children themselves, the Blue Peter Book Award and the Children’s Book Award. King of the Cloud Forests is a gripping and heartfelt war story from War Horse author and former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo.
