Notes

115 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), maps, portraits. Henry Friston sees extraordinary sights - foreign lands and fighting armies and oceans that stretch to the horizon. But it's while under fire in the trenches at Gallipoli that he sees a most extraordinary sight of all: a tortoise. Inspired, Henry discovers the strength he needs to survive, and together, he and his tortoise escape the battle. And so begins the friendship of a lifetime.
