Michael Morpurgo: Funny Thing, Getting Older
In this very special event Michael Morpurgo, one of our most beloved novelists, best known for his books for children of all ages including War Horse, Private Peaceful and Kensuke’s Kingdom, will be talking about his new book, Funny Thing, Getting Older for adult readers.
He shares his reflections from a lifetime of writing stories about the world. Here, collected for the first time are his thoughts on nature, childhood, writing, peace and war, and getting older. Some are deeply personal, some political, others in between.
Full of wonder, gentle humour and sharp observation, Funny Thing, Getting Older is a book to treasure and we know that this will also be an event to treasure.
This event will take place in Westlands Ballroom.
