Michael Morpurgo
Micharel Morpuro was born on October 5, 1943 in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, the United Kingdom. He is an English author. During a war in his home country, he was evacuated to Cumberland. Michael had an unsuccessful time in the army, then he began to teach and write. He and his wife run a program called " Farms for City Children." The Morpuros have 3 farms, in Devon, Whales and Glouchestershire, and they let city kids work with the animals. Family is very important to Michael. He spends time with his family in Scilly Isles, settings in 3 of his books. Five of Michael's books have ended up on the big screen. In the span of 40 years, Mr. Morpuro has writen over 120 books. War Horse was a book before being a Broadway play or a hit movie. The book was written back in 1982. After reading this information, I encourage you to read War Horse and other books Michael Morpuro has written.
