Noah Barleywater Runs Away

Eight-year-old Noah's problems seem easier to deal with if he doesn't think about them. So he runs away, taking an untrodden path through the forest. Before long he comes across a shop. But this is no ordinary shop. It is a toy shop, full of the most amazing toys and brimming with the most wonderful magic. And here Noah meets a very unusual toymaker. The toymaker has a story to tell, and it's a story of adventure and wonder, and broken promises. He takes Noah on a journey. A journey that will change his life. And it could change yours too...This is a poignant, spellbinding story from John Boyne, author of the internationally bestselling book and hit feature film The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas . Andrew Sachs reads John Boyne's magical, thought-provoking fairytale about the choices we make - complete and unabridged. Highly amusing, refreshingly original and extremely moving.
