Discover the true life story of favourite storyteller Michael Morpurgo, in this biography specially edited for children. Also features seven original Morpurgo stories.

We are enchanted by Michael Morpurgoâ€™s amazing stories like â€˜Private Peacefulâ€™, â€˜Born to Runâ€™ and â€˜Kensukeâ€™s Kingdomâ€™. And with big screen adaptations of his novels such as â€˜War Horseâ€™ being made into film adaptations by Steven Spielberg, itâ€™s no surprise that heâ€™s our nationâ€™s number one favourite storyteller.

But what about the real life story of Michael Morpurgoâ€¦?

How did a boy supremely uninterested in books, who dreamed of becoming an army officer, become a bestselling author and Childrenâ€™s Laureate? What stories in Michaelâ€™s own life inspired him to write more than a hundred books for children?

In a unique collaboration, Maggie Fergusson and Michael himself explore his life through biography and stories. This is a specially abridged edition of the critically acclaimed biography â€˜War Child to War Horseâ€™, for children. With additional photos not included in the hardback edition, and with a special activities section, this is the perfect gift for any child who has ever loved a Morpurgo story â€“ and there are millions of them out thereâ€¦
