Goodwoof is delighted to welcome eminent and much-loved writer, playwright and performer, Michael Morpurgo to Literary Corner on Saturday 17 May.

Set in Britain in 1815, ‘Cobweb’ published by Harper Collins Children’s Books, begins as the war with Napoleon is almost over. Cobweb, an adorable young corgi, knows nothing of the war – he loves being a young puppy and playing with his owner, Bethan, exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside and chasing rabbits. But, when he is taken away from Bethan and sold, Cobweb must learn to be a Drover’s Dog – herding sheep and cattle for hundreds of miles alongside another dog who becomes his friend on the long, treacherous journey to London. And, after the Napoleonic wars finally end with the Battle of Waterloo, Cobweb meets an unexpected stranger with an incredible tale to tell on his journey home.
Michael Morpurgo has written over 150 children’s books and has sold over 35 million copies worldwide translated into almost 40 languages. A former teacher and vocal spokesperson for the benefits of reading for pleasure, he is currently the President of Book Trust. Between 2003-2005, he was Children’s Laureate and in 2018, knighted for services to literature and charity. Many of Michael’s books have been adapted for stage and screen including the phenomenal National Theatre adaptation of ‘War Horse,’ which has been seen by over 10 million people in over 100 cities around the world, broke the West End record for weekly tickets sales and won five Tony Awards and two Olivier Awards.
I’m really looking forward to being at Goodwoof this year. As a family we always had dogs – lurchers and whippets mainly, my wife’s favourites. There have been dogs at the heart of several of my books including ‘Born to Run,’ ‘Shadow’ ‘It’s a Dog’s Life’ and, of course, my latest, ‘Cobweb’.
Michael Morpurgo Author
Michael will talk about his books as well as his enduring love of dogs at Goodwoof on Saturday 17 May over two Literary Corner appearances, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. Don’t miss your chance to experience this unique opportunity to hear from one of Britain’s greatest authors.
Copies of Michael’s book ‘Cobweb’ will be on sale at Goodwoof’s bookshop or it can be ordered now from all good bookshops.
