Grandpa’s Great Escape

Grandpa’s Great Escape, written by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross, follows the touching bond between a young boy named Jack and his aging grandfather. Set in 1983, the story centers on the elder man’s declining memory, which causes him to believe he is still a Royal Air Force pilot during World War II. While other adults struggle with his confusion, Jack embraces his grandfather’s delusions, participating in imaginative adventures involving Spitfire fighter planes and heroic missions. The narrative introduces a colorful cast of characters, including the suspicious staff at an old folk's home called Twilight Towers. Through their shared love of history and aviation, the duo navigates the difficulties of aging with humor and heart. This children's book explores themes of family loyalty and the power of imagination in the face of loss.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/storytime_for_kidsProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
