Michael Morpurgo is a best-selling author who has written more than 130 books and whose stories

have been turned into plays and films watched by everyone from the late Queen to schoolchildren.

His books include War Horse, Kensuke’s Kingdom and Private Peaceful.

He became Children’s Laureate in 2003. Michael was a teacher before turning to writing and still loves reading stories in classrooms around the country.

But his childhood was far from a fairy tale. He talks candidly to Rachel and Alice about being a War baby; living with a depressed mother and disciplinarian step father. He relates tales of visiting India with the Queen aged 16, dropping out of the Army; and the shock discovery of his real father’s identity whilst watching TV one Christmas.
