Product Information

The “pictures” were important for a nation still struggling with rationing and austerity. The cinemas were luxurious compared with most homes, and what went on in them is covered in enormous detail. In the company of Henry and his friends, we see such masterpieces as John Ford’s She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and there’s a splendid scene where our protagonists leave the cinema singing “New York, New York” from On the Town at the tops of their voices. The main adjective to describe Magorian’s work is “generous”. She doesn’t stint in any department, being as lavish with her emotions and characters as any 40s film-maker. The story cleverly details the attitudes of the time and how warped they were from our point of view while making the point that in some ways those attitudes are still around. The reader grows with Henry in his perception of the adult world. Perhaps the most famous Henry of all right now is Prince Harry – yep his given name is actually Henry but he has always been known as Harry by his family and friends. Middle names to go with Henry

This one is a rather complex storyline, but still a very well told tale. Since its original launch in the 1980s, the Henry vacuum range has been a staple of homes and offices.

Henry discovers, after being coached by his grandmother, that the father of a classmate was the man who murdered his own father. After a violent row resulting in disciplinary action from a pacifist teacher, Mrs Beaumont, and spurred by classmate Grace, Henry begrudgingly makes peace with the boy, Paul Jeffries, who (along with his mother) is treated as a pariah due to the belief that the elder Jeffries was a deserter during the second world war. Whilst developing a photo taken of Grace during a group outing involving the three classmates, on a camera given to him by Mrs Beaumont, Henry spots a man who closely resembled the man he knew as his father, Joey.

Harry is a lot like his older brother Henry except he’s been design specifically for pet lovers. So, if you have a few four-legged friends running around this could be for you.

Most of these machines have only one or two controls. An off/on switch and the cord winder. They may have a high/low setting (like the traditional Henry) and they may have a wet/dry setting (like the George). Finally, the Xtra can switch between hard floors and carpets as a special feature.

I also love to see Henry paired with unusual and stylish baby names, as it is in itself a very cool and sophisticated name.

An excellent, meaty story that hits all the right buttons. With a detailed late 40s setting and the kind of plot that works like a detective story mixed with a family saga, this novel for children makes for gripping reading. The Second World War has ended but Henry is fighting his own battles….He misses his father who died a war hero, and his only distraction is the cinema. But everything is about to change….When Henry develops an old camera film he uncovers a mystery, and events spiral until his life resembles the drama of the big screen. It started promisingly enough not quite as ponderous as some reviewers would have it but the ending was dire and unnecessary. An English and Welsh name meaning lord or prince. Word also refers to a mythical creature with the head of an eagle and body of a lion.

Henry Xtra

We have covered just about everything there is you need to know before you make your choice. The Henry vacuum cleaner range is extensive and iconic. There is a high chance that they will be the only thing to survive a nuclear explosion and still work. The idea being that a boy has grown up with tales of his dead father being a hero, but all that understanding changes as events progress. I found this a bit hard to get into at first, mainly Henry is a bit of a twit at the start, but as the story went on you could see how his Gran's malevolent influence had brainwashed him. He slowly started to see that she was wrong about various things, and as he started to realise just how awful she really was the plot began to get more and more interesting - I was really gripped by about a third of the way through, and raced through it. This book revolved around the cinema. Well the cinema definitely featured heavily in the novel. I liked this because I am a huge movie fan and enjoy frequent visits to the cinema. It was nice there was something simple and peaceful going on in the story amongst all of the turmoil. There was no sugar coating in the story, which I greatly appreciated; in stories I want to know the truth. It allowed me to learn more about that period of time and delve deeper into the story.
