Private Peaceful is Michael Morpurgo’s award-winning story about WW1 soldier Private Tommo Peaceful who is awaiting the firing squad at dawn. During the night he looks back at his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon, including his exciting first days at school, the accident in the forest that killed his father, his adventures with Molly, the love of his life, and the battles and injustices of war that brought him to the front line.
