About this listen
'A beautiful, thoughtful book that brims with joy' KATE MOSSE
In Funny Thing, Getting Older, one of our most beloved novelists shares his reflections from a lifetime of writing stories about the world. Here, collected for the first time on Michael's 82nd birthday, are his thoughts on nature, childhood, writing, peace and war, and getting older. Some are deeply personal, some political, others in between. And woven in amongst them you will find a play, a poem or two, and even a few stories.
Full of wonder, gentle humour and sharp observation, Funny Thing, Getting Older is a book to treasure.
A story is like a kite. If I make it right, if I fly it right, it will swoop and soar. And it will please my heart when it's up there, floating on the wind.
'Our master storyteller' JOANNA LUMLEY©2025 Michael Morpurgo (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
