Michael Morpugo: Singing for Mrs Pettigrew : illustrated by Peter Bailey
Hard back copy 2006 first edition: borrowed from my daughter
I was drawn to read this book by its design, the look and the feel of the paper of the wrapped cover. I love the red hard cover board with its dark green end-papers and I adored the b/w sketches. I liked that the font size and spacing varied according to the short story of the long story of the journey that he was telling about himself and how he'd become a story maker.
The end story about Mrs Pettigrew is poignant!
