More Muck and Magic: Stories from the Countryside

by Michael Morpurgo (Author), Michael Morpurgo (Editor), Michael Morpurgo (Author), Quentin Blake (Illustrator), Anne Princess Royal (Foreword)

Synopsis

The Farms for City Children charity gives children from inner-city schools the chance to stay and work on a farm in Devon for a week, and to truly experience life in the country. In a similar way, the pages of this warm anthology capture an inspirational snapshot of the countryside and its animals. From Ted Hughes's famous animal poems and Michael Morpurgo's dog's-eye-view to the visit paid by the mysterious Mona in Jamila Gavin's family story, there is a special insight for everyone in this book.
