Farm Boy

De: Michael Morpurgo

Narrado por: Derek Jacobi

Read by Derek Jacobi and Michael Morpurgo

Set on a farm in rural Devon, this is a collection of Grandpa’s reminiscences and stories as told to his grandson. Grandpa’s nature and his touching relationship with the boy is evoked superbly by Michael Morpurgo’s writing.

This two-voice read brings the characters to life as the story of Grandpa’s ‘shame’ (the fact that he cannot read and write) unfolds.

Derek Jacobi is sensitive and compelling in the role of Grandpa, inspiring a true sense of achievement and triumph as he finally tells his own story in his own words.

Touched my heart

This book left me with a sense of wonder and joy and so thankful for the power of books on our lives. The narration by Derek Jacobi is a treat and worth every minute of listening pleasure. The story is powerful so jump in and enjoy a very special story.

Great but much shorter than expected

I loved the performers acting- he sounded just like a British Northerner. Fun story, unfortunately it was only 3 chapters- only a short story. I enjoyed War Horse much more.
