Animal Magic: Four Stories of the Great Outdoors

Description

Four wonderful stories from the world of nature written by master storyteller, Michael Morpurgo.

You have to breathe the world in deep, and all its creatures too ... become part of it.

Immerse yourself in the great outdoors and travel around the country in these four heart-warming modern fables. Join Michael, who spots a whale on the shores of the river Thames, Mrs Pettigrew in her railway carriage by the sea, Bonny who wishes to follow her dreams cycling along country lanes, and a refugee named Ho who finds his voice working with horses in a Devon farmyard.

These four nostalgic stories are thought-provoking, touching, and inspiring, and will linger in your mind long after you turn the final page.
