If you’re reading this now, there’s a fair chance that you have a reasonable love of books. Maybe you have a sizable collection, perhaps only a few select titles, you might even have gone to the dark side and started building your own digital library on an e-reader (only kidding). Books are a part of our identity, entertaining and educating us in equal measure.
Michael Morpurgo: “Animals, like children, aren’t in a position of power as we are as adults, and it is our duty to care for them”
Michael Morpurgo (OBE 2006, MBE, Children’s Laureate 2003-2005), was born 5th October 1943 in Hertfordshire. By the age of two Michael had been evacuated to Cumberland, only later moving back to London, and then to Essex. His book, The Butterfly Lion, suggests his unhappy experiences at one of the boarding schools he attended in these earlier years. At one stage Michael trained for the British Army at Sandhurst.
