Interpretation During Books Good Night, Mr. Tom

London is poised on the brink of World War II. Timid, scrawny Willie Beech -- the abused child of a single mother -- is evacuated to the English countryside. At first, he is terrified of everything, of the country sounds and sights, even of Mr. Tom, the gruff, kindly old man who has taken him in. But gradually Willie forgets the hate and despair of his past. He learns to love a world he never knew existed, a world of friendship and affection in which harsh words and daily beatings have no place. Then a telegram comes. Willie must return to his mother in London. When weeks pass by with no word from Willie, Mr. Tom sets out for London to look for the young boy he has come to love as a son.

He finds in Tom a loving father figure and with Tom's border collie Sammy and the friends Willie makes in the village the irrepressible and chatty actor's son Zach , the farm boy George and two twin

I thought by the title and the cover that this would be a simple little tale, but it was actually very harrowing! Young William is an evacuee from the city streets of London who is deposited in the rural cottage of a crusty old widower. Will has endured some ghastly abuse at the hands of his mother, the description of which is now burned into my brain. Happily the old man and the boy form a bond that benefits both of them. Aside from the personal story, the book raised a lot of questions for me

A must read for everyone. If you don't read it then you should watch the movie. This story needs to be told.My sons had to read this at school. As I love to read i read this while both of them read it. I have watched the movie a few times with them also.Rearranging my books I came across this and couldn't resist re reading it. Truly an amazing read.

such an emotional read wow i'm a mess !!!

We had to read this in primary school, and it's been one of my most-read, well-loved books ever since. It doesn't seem enough to say, "Oh, it's a really touching story," because it's so much more than that. Willie is a young boy who's been abused by his mother all his life, so when he's evacuated to the countryside he's a quivering nervous wreck. He expects to be beaten for everything he gets wrong. The widower he stays with, Tom Oakley, is gruff and blunt and has shunned company ever since his

What can I truly say about this book?This book is such an emotional and beautiful masterpiece that should be read by everyone, especially when you're a child and then again as an adult. This book teaches you about so much and when I finished reading this book, I was left thinking about countless of things. The innocence only a child has, mixed with the anger and rage of the war. So much truth, made this book just heated with emotion. As an adult reading this book you can see everything and
