Deeply moving and quietly radical.' HELEN REBANKSThe long-awaited memoir of life and love on a Devon farm - Michael Morpurgo's most personal and moving book to dateFifty years ago, Michael and Clare Morpurgo packed their young family into a car in London and set off for a remote farm in rural Devon, down a narrow track called Burrow Lane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was on this magical farm that Michael, then a young schoolteacher, became a writer. Over the years, it would inspire many of his best-loved books, including War Horse and Private Peaceful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, Michael and Clare raised their family - and, in many ways, grew up themselves. They also welcomed more than 100,000 children from towns and cities to experience life in the countryside through their charity, Farms for City Children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the remarkable love story of Michael and Clare, and an account of the joys and hardships of life on the farm across five decades: a journey through the seasons and years that shaped the land around them, and the lives of the children forever changed by their time there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57264267788663,"sku":"9781399760089","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/18bcffc0-75ab-44d0-bebc-2829c25f93d8.jpg?v=1783351289","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781399760089","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
