Michael Foreman's numerous books for children have earned him widespread recognition as one of the world's leading illustrators. He has regularly collaborated with Terry Jones, Michael Morpurgo and others while several of his own books are also considered modern classics. Titles include War Boy, War Game, Terry Jones's Erik the Viking and Animal Tales, Michael Morpurgo's Farm Boy and many more.
Michael Foreman looks back on his own childhood both during and after the war on the Suffolk coast of England, where wartime life was far from quiet and uneventful, and where post-war life was full of potential adventures for small boys.
