Film Tie-in of the weekSee complete tie in list
War horse
Michael Morpurgo
Directed by Steven Spielberg, there has been tremendous hype surrounding the movie adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's War Horse, the story of Joey, a thoroughbred horse, and how he is forced into the thick of the harrowing, poorly-led battles of the First World War. Judging by the reviews thus far, the hype certainly seems justified, and will give the book yet another fillip. Book into theatre and into movie, War Horse is proving to be the complete tie-in book.
