Read by Derek Jacobi and Michael Morpurgo
Set on a farm in rural Devon, this is a collection of Grandpaâs reminiscences and stories as told to his grandson. Grandpaâs nature and his touching relationship with the boy is evoked superbly by Michael Morpurgoâs writing.
This two-voice read brings the characters to life as the story of Grandpaâs âshameâ (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.
