Michael morpurgo biography pdf directory

Michael Morpurgo is an English author who writes fantastic books for children aged about 10-14 years. His most famous book is War Horse which has been made into a play and now a movie.

I had never heard of Michael Morpurgo or any of his books until my nephew, Riley, introduced me to them on a family holiday back in 2011.

Riley was about to turn twelve at the time and he'd read quite a few of Michael's books so I asked him about them and he very kindly wrote brief reviews of his favourite ones for me.

Michael Morpurgo has written over 100 books for children, from picture books for younger children to novels aimed at young teenagers.
