Discover a Remarkable True Story of Courage, Friendship… and One Very Brave Chicken

The True Story of Myrtle the Parachuting Chicken is a heartwarming children’s book inspired by the incredible real-life story of Lieutenant ‘Pat’ Glover and Myrtle — the chicken he famously taught to “fly” before taking her with him into the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944.

Beautifully brought to life across 40 pages of vibrant, full-colour illustrations by Derek Chambers, this charming tale is told through Myrtle’s own eyes — from her capture in Somerby to her extraordinary journey to Holland.

Children will laugh, smile, and be captivated by Myrtle’s unique adventure. While her story has a gentle, poignant ending, it is told with great care and sensitivity, making it suitable for readers of all ages.

More than just a story, this book offers a wonderful introduction to a fascinating piece of World War II history — highlighting the humour, kindness, and resilience of the brave men who lived through those extraordinary times.

Perfect for curious young minds, families, and anyone who loves a true story with heart.
