War Horse
Ziemel tal-Gwerra is a children’s novel translated into Maltese by Tony C. Cutajar from the original War Horse written by Michael Morpurgo. The story recounts the experiences of Joey, a horse purchased by the Army for service in World War I France and the attempts of young Albert, his previous owner, to bring him safely home. It formed the basis of both an award winning play (2007) and an acclaimed film (2011). Reviews describe the novel as a book that touches the heart and mind, full of humanity and heroism, an incredible power of friendship, courage and loyalty in time of conflict.
