Sinopsis

MICHAEL MORPURGO'S FIRST BOOK OF ADULT NON-FICTION IN FORTY YEARS - THE PERFECT GIFT THIS EASTER

'A joyous meditation on the season of new beginnings' THE TIMES

'Uplifting and enchanting.' JOANNA LUMLEY

'Spring is a delight. We are all the richer for what he sees.' PHILIP PULLMAN

Michael Morpurgo has lived on a farm deep in rural Devon for more than forty years. In Spring, he observes the season unfold around him, as fragile new shoots emerge, buds turn to blossom and grey skies give way to blue.

As the natural world shakes off a long winter, Michael watches lambs being born on the farm, delights in a fanfare of bluebells in the woods, and sings to the birds, dressed in his wellies and dressing gown. He shares small moments of joy found in the back garden, as well as more dramatic encounters with sparrowhawks, hares and otters.

With new poems and reminiscences about childhood and springs gone by, this is an enchanting memoir of a season from one of the world's best-loved authors.

'Full of vibrant colour and most of all, heart and soul.' CLARE BALDING

'A book full of love for, and gentle humour about, the rural lifestyle amid the most cherished of seasons.' COUNTRYLIFE

'A reflective read - a gentle nostalgic step back in time to his life and his observations about how some things change and others don't.' DAILY MIRROR

Michael Morpurgo is the award-winning author of more than 150 books, including Private Peaceful, Kensuke's Kingdom and War Horse, which became the most successful play in the National Theatre's history and a Golden Globe-nominated film directed by Steven Spielberg. He has won many literary prizes, including the Smarties Prize, the Writers' Guild Award, the Whitbread Award, and the Eleanor Farjeon Lifetime Achievement Award.

Michael and his wife Clare founded Farms for City Children in 1976 at Nethercott Farm in Devon, and Michael has called the project his 'greatest story'. They aim to expand the horizons of children from towns and cities all over the country by offering them a week in the countryside living together on one of their farms.
