'A beautiful, thoughtful book that brims with joy' KATE MOSSE
'Our master storyteller' JOANNA LUMLEY
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, writing, politics and getting older. Full of wonder, gentle humour and sharp observation, Funny Thing, Getting Older is a book to treasure.
'Over the decades I have strayed more and more often from fiction into writing about the real world. 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. Now that I'm 80, it seemed the time to do it. In this book, for the first time, I've collected some of my favourite reflections. Some are deeply personal, some political, others in between. And woven in amongst them you will find a play, a poem or two, and even a few stories.'
