Sir Michael Morpurgo: “My mother gave me the magic of storytelling”
Description
🌸 Cressida and Isabella are joined by one of Britain's best loved children's authors, Michael Morpurgo.
🌸 Michael reflects on the profound influence of his mother, who read to him every night as a child, and how those early stories shaped the author he would become. He shares his deep gratitude for his wife Clare, plus we hear the remarkable story of how an experience through their charity, Farms for City Children, inspired him to write one of his most famous stories, War Horse.
🌸 Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they've carried forward, those they've left behind, and the profound impact maternal figures have had throughout their lives.
