Morris is well known to many people through his semi-autobiographical columns in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald magazine, Good Weekend, which he wrote for nine years. Overall, this beautifully, well-written book, which is based on true events, and shows hope and love in the most darkest times of history. Sequel to Once and Then "Readers of the first two books will recognize a great deal, and those who have not should read them to gain a fuller picture of the years before and those in which we live.

Once is the story Felix tells us about his life as a child in this particular time and place in the history of the Holocaust. Instead this book jumps right to him being 80 and with no mention of what happened in the years between. The thing I loved most about this book is that throughout most of it, Felix has an uplifting and optimistic personality.

Zelda was kind of annoying to be honest and I couldn't understand why Felix let her go in the house? The author touches on the similar personality traits of the two main characters and it fits in to the book series well!

It's a name that carries a lot of history for Felix, and is a name that his granddaughter is desperate to live up to. He lives in an orphanage in the Polish mountains - his parents, who are booksellers, left him there when they went off to solve all sorts of book-related emergencies (according to Felix). Although Once is a work of fiction, Gleitzman was inspired by the story of Janusz Korczak, the events of World War II, and Hitler's attempt to exterminate the Jewish population of Europe. And of course short stories fill a book with more laughs, thrills and tears per page than would be possible for characters in a novel, who quite reasonably need meal breaks and rostered days off.
