Michael Morpurgo


By: Melania Mihalcea

    
Michael Morpurgo, before he was famous…
Michael had been hired as a teacher. Eventually, he became knowledgeable that he had a talent at storytelling. He later said: “I could see there was magic in it for them, and realized it was magic in it for me.”
Michael Morpurgo’s partner…
Morpurgo’s inspiration was gathered from Ted Hughes (1930-1998), who later became his friend and neighbor.  Morpurgo worked with Hughes to achieve the early steps of authority, managing to publish a story in the ‘Water’ collection. With Ted’s help, he had managed to be noted as “the master storyteller’’, including themes of adventure.
Michael Morpurgo’s achievements:
Michael Morpurgo had been already awarded 11 prizes for only half of his books! He had also been the third person to own the title as Children’s Laureate, 2003 – 2005.
Fun Fact: Quentin Blake had been one of Michael Morpurgo’s illustrators!
