Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Morpurgo is a national treasure whose books have enchanted a whole generation of children. In 2007, his novel War Horse was adapted for the stage by the National Theatre and has been turned into a blockbuster film by Steven Spielberg. In a unique collaboration, Maggie Fergusson explores Michael Morpurgo's life through seven biographical chapters, to which he responds with seven stories. The portrait that emerges is one of light and shade: the light very bright, the shade complex and often painful.
