Tom's novel tale of Easdale Tarn
Available for over a year
Tom Palmer's new WWII Grasmere novel enlists local school pupils in its writing by helping with his research and reading the first draft. Tom was inspired by stories of young men running away to the mountains to avoid being called up, and anxieties that Nazi paratroopers would land in such a remote area.
