Less often now, I hope. War Horse was one such story.
‘She was like an auntie to me’: Lynne Reid Banks remembered by Michael Morpurgo

Apr 8, 2024 | theguardian.com | Michael Morpurgo

It is quite rare to find a writer like Lynne Reid Banks, who tries so many different subjects, and so many different ways of writing. The author of The L-Shaped Room and The Indian in the Cupboard, who died on Thursday aged 94, was a writer I admired and liked a lot – and someone who helped me find a pathway for myself. I have a huge admiration for the breadth of her writing. Her first novel was for adults, The L-Shaped Room. It was a great hit, and was adapted into a film.
5 Books Your Kids Should Read

Apr 3, 2024 | ibelieve.com | Michael Morpurgo |Roald Dahl |Vivian Bricker

Encouraging kids to read can be a difficult task. To be completely honest, I didn't enjoy reading until I was in the seventh grade. For many of us, it takes trial and error until we finally find a book that makes us fall in love with reading. The same is true for your children. Your kids need to find a book that sparks their interests and makes them want to read. This book will be different for each child, but once you find this book, your child will be hooked on reading.
Michael Morpurgo: Give teachers time to encourage reading

Mar 17, 2024 | tes.com | Michael Morpurgo

As important as reading is, it’s not something that comes naturally to everyone. When I was little, I had a wonderful mother who read to me, and gave me a taste for the music of words and the excitement of stories. I used to love every book she read, purely because it was her who was reading it to me. However, like so many kids, I was rather put off reading when I went to school because there it became this “subject”. It wasn’t for enjoyment anymore, it was for testing.

Michael Morpurgo: The first time I saw my father, it was on TV at Christmas

Dec 24, 2023 | inews.co.uk | Michael Morpurgo

I saw the film Great Expectations, in black and white, way back in the 1960s, at a family Christmas. It was a life-changing experience. It doesn’t matter how many versions of the film I’ve seen, this is the one I remember. It doesn’t matter how many family Christmases I’ve had – about 80 now – this is the family Christmas I remember best. Let me set the scene: It was 1961. I was 18. I was home, rather unwillingly, for Christmas.
