This is a  beautiful condition, 1st Edition, Hardback

Version of the, now, children’s classic book, from the number one best-selling author, David Williams. 

Many years ago Grandpa was a World War II flying ace. But when he is sent to the old folk's home, Twilight Towers - run by sinister Matron Swine - it's up to Grandpa and his grandson, Jack, to plot a daring escape. Little do they know the wicked matron is onto them...

In his old age, Grandpa has become confused. He believes he is back in World War II when he was an RAF Spitfire pilot.

Jack’s Grandpa…

• wears his slippers to the supermarket
• serves up Spam à la Custard for dinner
• and often doesn’t remember Jack’s name

But he can still take to the skies in a speeding Spitfire and save the day…

Only one person can understand him: his grandson Jack. Together, they embark on the adventure of their lives.

An exquisite portrait of the bond between a small boy and his beloved Grandpa – this book takes readers on an incredible journey with Spitfires over London, and Great Escapes through the city, in a high-octane adventure full of comedy and heart.

Xtra kudos points for this fab book.

• At the back there is a lovely Glossary - explaining some of the important history, and characters of this WW2 story. If you know a child into aeroplanes, and flying, or can’t get enough history, then this just might be the next great adventure they are looking for.
• Hidden under the commercial book jacket, is a lovely illustrated scene spanning the back, spine, and front cover.
