A poignant and joyful collection of thoughts and reflections from one of the world's most beloved authors.
'For so many, getting older isn't funny at all. But it's a time for reflections certainly. So reflect, Michael, reflect. What have I been here for?
Over the decades I have strayed more and more often from fiction into writing about the real world. Much of this writing has never been seen before in print. But in this book, for the first time, I've collected some of my favourite pieces. This is a series of gathered reflections - many were written for radio, some are articles from newspapers, and some are lectures. Some are deeply personal, some political, others in between. Woven in amongst them you will find a play, a poem or two, and even a few stories too. And a new introduction that I've written especially.
Although you'll find much of my life in my stories, there comes a time to look my reader in the eye, and come clean about the great issues of our times, caring for our world, peace, migration, fairness, education. Now that I'm 80, it seemed the time to do it.'
Michael Morpurgo is one of Britain's most beloved novelists, best known for enchanting children with his books like War Horse and Private Peaceful. Here, collected for the first time, are his thoughts on nature, childhood, education, war, and getting older. Full of gentle humour and sharp observation, Funny Thing Getting Older is a book to ponder and treasure.
