Product description

Three animal stories from a master. In Jo-Jo the Melon Donkey we meet Jo-Jo, who works hard selling melons on the streets of Venice each day. Jo-Jo doesn’t like the hard work and boredom of a donkey’s life. But one dark night, he gets the chance to be a hero and save the city from the sea! In Conker, Nick goes looking for conkers in Jubilee Park, and finds a half-starved dog instead. Nick calls the dog Conker – but will he be able to save him? And in Colly’s Barn, Annie’s father wants to demolish the old barn and build a new one. But what will happen to all the birds that nest there? Read this book and find out!

Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller, weaving captivating stories full of drama and intensity that are coming to be regarded as true classics. Exploring the most profound subjects with a light yet powerful touch, his books tell unforgettable stories in simple, direct words.

Michael Morpurgo discovered his talent for writing while working as a teacher. “We had to read the children a story every day and my lot were bored by the book I was reading. I decided I had to do something and told them the kind of story I used to tell my kids – it was like a soap opera, and they focused on it. I could see there was magic in it for them, and realised there was magic in it for me.”

Living in Devon, listening to Mozart, and working with children have provided most of the stimulae Michael needs to discover and write his stories. He spends about half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories. “For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out – the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers.”
