The man behind the story


Michael Morpurgo, is one of the most well-known authors of books for children and young people. He has written over 100 novels which have been translated into many languages, and has won numerous awards.

Morpurgo started his career as a primary teacher and then moved with his wife to Devon, where they created the charity project 'Farms for City Children'. The charity gives children from socially poor parts of cities the possibility to spend time in the country. They now have 3 farms, and Michael is patron to many other charities. He divides his time between working with children on the farm and writing.
