The Mozart Question
By Michael Morpurgo
Illustrated by Michael Foreman
A moving tale of secrets and survival bound together by the power of music.
When Lesley is sent to interview world-renowned violinist Paulo Levi, she is told that she can ask him anything at all -- except the Mozart question. But it is Paulo himself who decides that it is time for the truth to be told. And so follows the story of his parents as Jewish prisoners of war, forced to play Mozart violin concertos for the enemy knowing that they were playing for their lives.
- Hopeful yet haunting, this timeless tale is compellingly told and emotively illustrated throughout.
- Presented in the same compact gift format as the acclaimed "I Believe in Unicorns".
