There are funny things in it and we’ve got to laugh from time to time, but if you are trying to convince them that that’s how life is going to be, then you’re just going to create disappointed children.” But, he points out, too much choice is a problem. “We all have more choices than we had before. What do children do in their spare time? They are reading books but reading is only one of many choices. Books have to line up alongside video games and all those other things that occupy their hands and their brains.”

It was first published in 1970 and, largely through recommendation, has remained in print ever since (no small feat in itself when the author, Wallace Breem, died in 1990). Morpurgo is pleased that children’s books are selling well but he is conscious of not reaching those children who don’t have a reading culture at all. “If they’re not read to at home and their teacher doesn’t read to them, an awful lot of children are freezed off from ever reading a book.” Eagle in the Snow ( ISBN 1-59071-011-8) is a 1970 historical fiction novel, written by Wallace Breem, which revolves around the Roman general Paulinus Gaius Maximus, a Mithraic in an age of Christianization, in Britannia and Germania, between the late 4th century and the early 5th century. Banished to the Empire's farthest outpost, veteran warrior Paulinus Maximus defends The Wall of Britannia from the constant onslaught of belligerent barbarian tribes. Bravery, loyalty, experience, and success lead to Maximus' appointment as General of the West by the Roman emperor, the ambition of a lifetime. But with the title comes a caveat: Maximus needs to muster and command a single legion to defend the perilous Rhine frontier.
