Michael Morpurgo talks to Helen Rebanks

Enjoy an uplifting burst of springtime joy from the much-loved author of War Horse and Private Peaceful. Michael Morpurgo has lived on Nethercott Farm, deep in Devon river country, for more than forty years. In spring, he observes the changing season all around him, as new shoots emerge and seeds are sown, lambs are born and blossom flowers overhead.

As the weeks pass, he watches the lambing on the farm, walks through the bluebell woods, and feeds the birds in his garden in his wellies and dressing gown. He describes dramatic encounters with sparrowhawks, hares and otters, while sharing other magical discoveries, new poems and reminiscences about childhood and springs gone by. Morpurgo discusses Spring, his first adult non-fiction in nearly four decades, with Helen Rebanks, author of The Farmer’s Wife: My Life in Days.
