Our Review
This 40th Anniversary edition adds to the magic of the timeless classic. It was interesting reading about the origins of the story and also the short story.
I am not keen on reading books after I have seen the film but in this case I loved the book even more than I love the film.
Goodnight Mr Tom is the story of two outsiders who come together to help each other heal.
I think most people know the plot of the book, even if they just know it from the feel,
I absolutely loved this book but it did make me cry several times and I found the scenes with his mother much harder to read since becoming a mother myself.
