The life of Michael Morpurgo, as a biography, & autobiographical stories. Michael Morpurgo is a national treasure. With books such as ' Private Peaceful', ' Kensuke's Kingdom' & ' The Wreck of the Zanzibar' he has enchanted a whole generation of children, weaving stories for them in a way that is neither contrived nor condescending. His is a rare gift. In 2007, Michael's novel ' War Horse' was adapted for the stage by the National Theatre. Five years on, it continues to play to packed audiences of all ages & has been turned into a blockbuster film by Steven Spielberg, propelling Morpurgo to household-name status.

What personal price has he paid for success? & why, amidst his triumphs, is he now haunted by regret? 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 & shade: the light very bright, the shade complex & often painful. ...
