The Tale of Walter the Pencil Man (Paperback)

Ian McMillan and Tony Husband have worked together for many years. Their latest collaboration tells a sombre story - in six-line rhyming stanzas - of a young lad from a Yorkshire pit village who finds himself caught up in the horrors of the First World War. Surrounded by terrible slaughter, Walter records the things he sees around him with only a pencil and some paper.
