What is Michael Morpurgo: War Child To War Horse War Child To War Horse about?

Michael Morpurgo is a Pied Piper. Through books such as Private Peaceful, Kensukes Kingdom and The Wreck of the Zanzibar he has enchanted a whole generation of children, weaving stories for them in a way that is neither contrived nor condescending. His is a rare gift. But it is not only children he holds in his thrall. In 2007, Michaels novel War Horse was adapted for the stage by the National Theatre. Five years on, it continues to play to packed audiences of all ages in the West End and New York, and later this year it will tour America, as well as opening in Toronto and Australia. Steven Spielberg, meantime, has made it into a film. The story of a Devon horse sent to fight on the Western Front has made Michael Morpurgo a household name. Michaels own story is as strange and surprising as any he has written, and is shot through with the same thread of sadness found in almost all his work. How did this supremely unbookish boy who dreamed of becoming an army officer become a bestselling author instead? What personal price has he paid for success? And why, amidst his triumphs, is he now haunted by regret? In a unique collaboration, Maggie Fergusson explores Michael Morpurgos life thr
