Win! A copy of Michael Morpurgo’s Down Burrow Lane

Inspired by Michael and Clare Morpurgo’s remarkable story, Down Burrow Lane is a tale to capture the imagination. And we’ve got five copies up for grabs!

Celebrating 50 years of Farms for City Children, the charity he founded with his wife Clare in 1976, the much-loved author is back with Down Burrow Lane – a new book inspired by his lifelong connection with the countryside, animals and the power of storytelling.

Over the past five decades, Farms for City Children has given more than 105,000 children the chance to swap city life for the great outdoors, getting their hands dirty, caring for animals and discovering the wonders of the natural world.

For Michael, these experiences are about so much more than farm work. They help children build confidence, develop empathy and discover the importance of caring for the world around them. It’s a belief that runs through his writing, too, from the unforgettable War Horse to his latest story.

A passionate advocate for honest storytelling, Michael believes books can help young readers explore big feelings, understand the world and find hope, even when life presents difficult questions. And with animals often at the heart of his tales, he celebrates the special bonds that can help children see the world differently.

Now, we’re giving five lucky readers the chance to discover Down Burrow Lane for themselves, with five copies up for grabs!
