Praise for Michael Morpurgo:
“Champagne quality over a wide range of subjects.” – Daily
Telegraph “There are few children’s writers as compelling as
Michael Morpurgo.” – Daily Express “Morpurgo’s gift is to make this
long-ago world of danger and heartbreak accessible without ever
patronising his young readers.” – Sunday Mercury “Morpurgo, as
always, is subtle and skillful, and incorporates social and moral
issues into his writing without being self-righteous or detracting
from the quality of the narrative”
Elizabeth Reilly – British Council “The former children's laureate
has the happy knack of speaking to both child and adult readers.”
-The Guardian.
