Told in the voice of Private Tommo Peaceful, the story follows twenty-four hours at the front, and captures his memories of his family and his village life – by no means as tranquil as it appeared.

 

Full of vivid detail and engrossing atmosphere, leading to a dramatic and moving conclusion, Private Peaceful is both a compelling love story and a deeply moving account of the First World War.

 

Extra material:

 

- Introduction by Michael Morpurgo.

 

- Inspiration letter by Michael Morpurgo.

 

- Background on the execution of British soldiers in WW1 for cowardice, including personal testimony from soldiers.
