Toro! Toro!

Bestselling author Michael Morpurgo turns his storytelling skills to the drama and tragedy of the Spanish Civil War, illustrated by Michael Foreman.
Antonito lives an idyllic life on his parents’ bull farm in Andalucia, Spain. But the idyll is shattered when he realises that his beloved bull calf, Paco, is destined for the bullring. What can he do? Antonito has a plan – it is a plan of such daring, it will take enormous courage to see it through.

But it is 1936 and the rolling drums of war are echoing across the Spanish plains. Little does Antonito realise the full consequences of his actions – and Paco has a destiny far exceeding Antonito’s dreams.
