Synopsis
It's 1915 and British troops are about to sail to Gallipoli. Billy is the youngest soldier in his platoon and is teased for not being old enough to drink or shave. The truth is, at 15 he's not old enough to be a soldier either, and he's terrified of the war he's about to fight. Then he meets Captain, a refugee boy, and his donkey, Hey-ho. Together they teach Billy what it means to be brave, loyal and fearless, and above all what it means to be a friend.

About the Author
Sam Angus was born in Italy, grew up in France and Spain and was educated rather haphazardly in most of these countries, at many different schools. She was asked to leave at least one school. She studied English Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge where she kept a dog until he was discovered being smuggled out of college in a laundry basket. So she was summoned and asked to leave Cambridge too. Unless the dog left, in which case she might stay.
She taught A level English before spending a decade in the fashion industry and now writes full time.
She lives between Exmoor and London with improvident numbers of children, dogs and horses.

Captain (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "He may be small, but he's got more courage than anyone but that blasted donkey." Told some years later by the guilt-ridden Jack, a light horseman at Gallipoli in the First World War, this is the story of a little refugee boy affectionately known as Captain, and his donkey, Hey-Ho. At first the small boy and his donkey are mocked by the rest of the cavalry, with their big, powerful horses, but soon they all realize that Captain and Hey-Ho have more spirit and determination than the rest of the troop put together. A moving wartime adventure about a boy and his donkey from the author of Soldier Dog. Perfect for Morpurgo fans. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781447263029
