Nose in a Book

what book am i reading right now ?

The Machine Gunners by Robert Westall

A book i’ve been reading time and time again

i first came to it in the early eighties in English lessons, but as time passed, i kept on reading it.

a boys own tale of “souvenir” hunters in World War II, a fallen German bomber and its Machine Gun

with all the adventures and dangers that come with it

i returned to the book, during a book exhibit at Imperial War Museum North , where exhibits associated with the book were on display

the book can be purchased from most good bookstores in paperback from Macmillan, where you’ll get change from six pounds (even if it is just a penny!)
