Product description

Be whisked away into an Arctic wilderness and explore the majestic landscapes of the frozen North in this beautiful pair of classic Morpurgo nature tales, Rainbow Bear and Little Albatross. When a polar bear grows tired of being a white creature in a snow white landscape, he dreams of soaking himself in all the colours of the rainbow. Will his wish be granted? Next, a little albatross finally grows big enough for his mother and father to leave him at home alone. But danger threatens from a hungry enemy… Told with all of Michael Morpurgo’s lyrical power, these wondrous stories capture the snowy magic of the North Pole and the wild creatures there.

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.”

    I have read this book over and over again, and even though it may not be the longest book in the world, it is still a great book about animals that live surrounded by snow. I would recomend this mostly to younger readers.
