Michael Morpurgo
I write fiction. I make things up, it's what I do.
Michael Morpurgo
I don't consciously try to take my readers on a journey as I don't really think about my readers when I'm writing. I just try to write what I feel passionately about, to tell a story down onto the page.
Michael Morpurgo
As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
