    Michael Morpurgo

    Michael Morpurgo is one of Britain’s best-loved writers for children. He has written over 130 books including War Horse, which was adapted for a hugely successful stage production by the National Theatre and then, in 2011, for a film directed by Steven Spielberg. Michael was Children’s Laureate from 2003 to 2005. The charity Farms for City Children, which he founded thirty years ago with his wife Clare, has now enabled over 70,000 children to spend a week living and working down on the farm. His enormous success has continued with his most recent novels Flamingo Boy and The Snowman, inspired by the classic story by Raymond Briggs. He was knighted in 2018 for services to literature and charity.

      It does one good to read books like this from time to time. The language is so clear - not basic, but simple, with just the right word chosen in every sentence to convey the concept without losing the reader in a thicket of descriptive prose. The story is a simple one - a young boy discovers a kitten on his farm, and together they live a full life, full of adventure and misadventure (hence the title). An easy read that accompanied me through a day of travelling.
