∙ 12y agoMichael Morpurgo's writing career was inspired by Ted Hughes's "Poetry in the Making", Paul Gallico's "The Snow Goose" and Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea".
In an interview for HarperCollins Children's Books to announce their upcoming biography of Michael Morpurgo, he said that when he was a teacher, he found that he could maintain the attention of his students late in the day by reading stories to them.
