Product Information

Usually an old man (I don’t know why) living simply, close to nature, in harmony with nature, giving back to nature more than he takes from it and being protective of the world around him as it protects him. Sir Michael Andrew Morpurgo, OBE, FRSL is the author of many books for children, five of which have been made into films. The book that inspired Steven Spielbergs Hollywood blockbuster movie and an internationally acclaimed stage show . Entering into even more difficult territory, The Mozart Question (2007) depicts the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust in a manner that is suitable for young readers. As it unfolds, the reader begins to understand a lot about the war and the horrors of the trenches, leading many young readers to think about why we have wars and what we can do to stop them.

Many of his novels re-work ancient myths and folktales: for example, Arthur, High King of Britain (1994), Robin of Sherwood (1996), and The Orchard Book of Aesop’s Fables (2004). In 1999 this work was publicly recognised when he and his wife were awarded an MBE for services to youth.

It's an escape, a new start, a chance to put things behind them - things like the death of Will's father.The age I would say is senseable is 10-12 I read it when I was nearly 10 but the vocablery was so good. The most apt example of this theme is probably Kensuke’s Kingdom (1999), which has recently been re-printed on FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified paper. Both RADA graduates, his parents had met when they were acting in the same repertory company in 1938.
