I have also noticed butterflies on the covers of WWII books, maybe it has somthing to do with their being beautiful and free.<br /><br />Joyce, I'm sorry if I led you astray about Tommo and Charlie. I know what you mean about sharing Morpurgo's anger. I hope you get a chance to read this because it is such a well done book.<br /><br />Barbara, I often struggle for a word besides enjoy for books like this - they are so good, but one doesn't enjoy them in the usual sense of the meaning.
