I didn't tell Paco what I'd seen that day - I didn't ever want him to know. "I'll take you away so you can live will up in the hills, where you'll be safe for ever and ever. I'll work something out, I promise you."
Antonito lives and idyllic life on his parents' bull farm in Spain. But the idyll is shattered when he realises that his calf, Paco, is destined for the bullring. What can he do? He has a daring plan, but it will take enormous courage to see it through - because it is 1936, and the drums of war are echoing across the Spanish plains....
"Once again, Morpurgo demonstrates his talent for stories of absolute clarity about big events."
