Product description

Powerful tales full of drama and intensity from the unstoppable Michael Morpurgo, a writer whom children name as a favourite time and time again. This pack combines two of his established classics with two more recent essentials: The Kites Are Flying and An Elephant in the Garden. Read on for the adventures of a boy cast away on a Pacific island; the story of an elephant seeking sanctuary from the bombs of World War II; and a heartbreaking tale from war-torn Palestine, which explains why a young boy called Said no longer speaks. Weaving captivating stories in rich language, themes and imagery, these books are Morpurgo at his inventive and dazzling best.

Michael Morpurgo

Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller, weaving captivating stories full of drama and intensity that are coming to be regarded as true classics. Exploring the most profound subjects with a light yet powerful touch, his books tell unforgettable stories in simple, direct words.

Michael Morpurgo discovered his talent for writing while working as a teacher. “We had to read the children a story every day and my lot were bored by the book I was reading. I decided I had to do something and told them the kind of story I used to tell my kids – it was like a soap opera, and they focused on it. I could see there was magic in it for them, and realised there was magic in it for me.”

Living in Devon, listening to Mozart, and working with children have provided most of the stimulae Michael needs to discover and write his stories. He spends about half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories. “For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out – the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers.”
