They were married in 1941 while Van Bridge, having been called up in 1939 and by then stationed in Scotland, was on leave from the army. His father came from a working-class family, while Kippe came from a family of actors, an opera singer, writers and poets. Both RADA graduates, his parents had met when they were acting in the same repertory company in 1938. Morpurgo was born in 1943 in St Albans, Hertfordshire, as Michael Andrew Bridge, the second child of actor Tony Van Bridge and actress Kippe Cammaerts (born Catherine Noel Kippe Cammaerts, daughter of writer and poet Émile Cammaerts). Morpurgo became the third Children's Laureate, from 2003 to 2005, and he is also the current President of BookTrust, the UK's largest children's reading charity. His work is noted for its "magical storytelling", for recurring themes such as the triumph of an outsider or survival, for characters' relationships with nature, and for vivid settings such as the Cornish coast or World War I. Sir Michael Andrew Morpurgo OBE FRSL FKC DL ( né Bridge 5 October 1943) is an English book author, poet, playwright, and librettist who is known best for children's novels such as War Horse (1982). ![]() ![]() ![]() Braithwhite-heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus’s ancestors-they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.Īt the manor, Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn-led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb-which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus.
