Toro! Toro!

"TORO! TORO!" by Michael Morpurgo, read by Christopher Barlow, explores the life of a young boy in Andalucia, Spain, as he experiences the joys and tragedies of growing up on a bull-rearing farm amid the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. The story follows Antonito’s journey from caring for a black calf to witnessing the upheaval of war and joining the Resistance fighters in the hills. Through tales of bravery and symbolism, the narrative captures a mix of nostalgia, drama, and hope, all told with Morpurgo’s characteristic storytelling charm.
