King of the Cloud Forests

---

Ashley, a young boy, is forced to flee from China during World War II and finds himself on a perilous journey across the Himalayas. Along the way, he is saved by a mysterious group of yetis, who become his protectors and family in the mountains.

Morpurgo blends wartime adventure with myth and environmental themes, creating a moving story about survival, belonging, and the power of kindness across cultures. The novel also invites readers to reflect on humanity’s relationship with nature and what it means to find “home.” With Foreman’s illustrations in early editions, the story carries both a haunting atmosphere and a magical, hopeful spirit.
