The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips by master storyteller Michael Morpurgo transports the reader back to 1943 when families were evacuated from their homes in villages so that US troops could practise in preparation for D-Day.
The moving story is based on true events in Slapton, Devon, (UK) over 60 years ago.
It’s 1943, Lily Tregenza lives on a farm in the seaside village of Slapton, and her life is scarcely touched by the war. Until one day when the villagers are all told to move out of their homes – lock, stock and barrel.
Soon the whole area is out of bounds as the allied forces prepare to invade France. But Tips, Lily’s adored cat, has other ideas – and returns to the forbidden area. Frantic to find her, Lily decides to enter the danger zone to look for Tips herself ….
Her tale is told through Grandma Lily’s diary.
