A Great Storyteller
Last nights lecture by Morpurgo is a great insight into the lives of children, and the importance of media.
Working in tv, I’ve often heard people talking about tv for children as if it’s something you do before you progress to ‘grown up’ tv…real tv. SOmetimes the same is said of stories, of books for children.
I totally disagree. This lecture weaves in stories of real children, children based on those that Morpurgo has met and discusses the reason he tackles these stories.
Well worth a watch
