It is always good to know the motivation for the writing of a book, don't you think? Are there ever events or stories told by others which touch you so deeply that you think you'd like to explore them further, in your own mind, in your own words? Perhaps then, you would be able to understand them better. Perhaps then, you would be able to think through how you feel about them. In Private Peaceful, Michael Morpugo has written a book inspired by the stories of those men in the awful trenches of the First World War. And it feels as much as though he's trying to explain them to himself as he is trying to explain them to us.
