Book Description
Dear Mr Morpingo,
I have just read your book The Wreck of the Zanzibar. It's the best book I have ever read. It is miles better than any Harry Potter book. BUT, there's one thing definitely wrong with this book. It's about a girl. Write me a book about a boy who gets stuck on a desert island.
Michael Morpurgo may be the Children's Laureate, but readers often have trouble spelling his name correctly.
But thousands and thousands of them have had no trouble at all reading stories like 'The Butterfly Lion', 'Cool!' or 'Private Peaceful'. Or 'Kensuke's Kingdom', the best-selling story Michael wrote about a boy stranded on a desert island to please the fan who thought he was called Morpingo!
Dear Mr Morpingo takes you inside the world of Michael Morpurgo to answer the questions readers would love to ask - about Michael's life, the ideas behind his stories and how he writes them.
Synopsis
Children's Laureate, prize-winning author and originator of 'Farms for City Children', Michael Morpurgo has written over 90 books. He is a recipient of the Whitbread Children's Book Award, the Smarties Prize and the Children's Book Award. This book looks at the world of Michael Morpurgo, his childhood, how he began to write, and the people, the stories and the landscapes that have influenced his work. It examines the books themselves, drawing together common themes and encouraging the reader to read further for themselves. It also includes a section on the development of a book, answering some of those questions that Michael is frequently asked, 'where do you get your ideas from?' or 'how long does it take to produce a book?' There is even a previously unpublished story - a real treat from the pen of the Children's Laureate.
